Gold Tone CC-50RP: Cripple Creek Resonator Banjo with Planetary Tuners and Gig Bag

Our popular CC-50 has been the openback banjo of choice for thousands of beginning players for many years. The CC-50RP adds a full-walled resonator and high quality planetary-gear tuning machines to offer a value-packed first Bluegrass banjo for thousands more. Great sound emanates from the hard rock maple rim topped with a brass rod tone ring. The flangeless CC-50RP converts easily to an openback banjo for exploring clawhammer or folk style playing; just pop off the resonator and mounting brackets and you're done. Deluxe touches include a rosewood fretboard, Terminator tailpiece and a geared fifth-string tuning peg. Gold Tone's expert factory setup assures great playability sound right from the start. Available as left-handed model.

Perfect for Beginners & Advancing Players: Based on the popular CC-50 model, the CC-50RP offers enhanced features for aspiring Bluegrass musicians. Resonator Back for Bluegrass Power: Full-walled resonator projects louder, brighter tones ideal for Bluegrass styles. Convertible Design for Versatile Play: Easily remove the resonator and brackets to switch to openback style for clawhammer or folk playing.
