Gold Tone Bob Carlin BC-350 Banjo (Five String, Clear Maple) Product Description:
Product Description
At the 2004 IBMA show, Bob Carlin and Wayne met to discuss the possibilities of a signature model 12" openback banjo. The features requested by Bob were a 12" pot assembly, scooped ebony fingerboard, specific neck profile dimensions and a nut width of 1-5/16”, a rolled brass tone ring, and a No Knot tailpiece. Bob personally made a trip to our Florida factory for the designing where Bob and Wayne discussed every possible specification and tested prototypes. Every detail was fine tuned. Decided features included a 12” Renaissance banjo head, the mock dowel stick/coordinator rod configuration, a custom headstock design with ebony overlay and recessed truss rod cover, the GT Master planetary tuners, and the “hot dog” armrest. In order to complete the project, Gold Tone would invest in all new 12" tooling to assure perfectly fitted parts. A year later we introduced.... the Gold Tone Bob Carlin Signature Model BC-350! Bob Carlin is most well known in the banjo world for his incredible tone. The Gold Tone BC Series featuring the 12” body provides Bob with more mid-range and bass response than the standard 11” designs. Whether you are new to openback banjo or want to add a new sound to your banjo arsenal, the BC-350 is an excellent choice!
