Vintage Mahogany Five String Gold Tone OB-250+TP Orange Blossom Banjo with Tony Pass Schaeffer Rim

The Orange Blossom 250+ Tony Pass (OB-250+TP) is a dramatically improved version of our celebrated OB-250, boasting added features reserved for only the highest-quality banjos. Upgraded features include the JLS "Special #12" Bronze tone ring, the Tony Pass Schaeffer (TPS) birch block rim, the Gary Sosebee select aged maple bridge, and a TKL deluxe arch top case, along with a lifetime warranty.

The JLS "Special #12" tone ring is a replica of the Gibson tone rings used in the Granada models in the 1930s. The maker, Jim Stull of San Antonio, Texas, has analyzed original Gibson tone rings and duplicated the exact specifications. When electronically tested for pitch, sustain, and ring, it equals the original. It also has a slightly longer "skirt" which (1) provides more contact with the wood rim and (2) provides direct contact with the heel of the neck for optimized tone.

In conjunction with the TPS birch block rim and a complete setup here at the Gold Tone factory in Florida, this banjo will compete with just about any banjo out there right out of the box. The included features are:

• Hearts & Flowers Inlay
• USA Made JLS Tone Ring
• Tony Pass Schaeffer Birch Block Rim
• GT Master Planetary Tuners

The dramatic improvements in the OB-250+TP model ensure that this banjo will deliver exceptional performance and unparalleled quality, making it a must-have for any serious banjo player.
