{"product_id":"gold-star-ge-1-old-time-prospector-openback-banjo-with-soft-case","title":"Gold Star GE-1 Old Time Prospector Openback Banjo with Soft Case","description":"The Gold Star Prospector is built in the tradition of banjos from the late 1800s, with a singular combination of traditional design, tone and contemporary playability. The 1\/2 inch rim of the banjo consists of two 1\/4 inch plies of rock maple that form a firm vibration base for the warm tonal characteristics required for the old-time banjo styles. The \"frailing-scoop\" allows the player to access the warm tone found in the area just outside the confines of the banjo head. The addition of sturdy but light-weight neck reinforcement and coordinator rod assures the structural stability of the neck and rim without a negative impact on the balance or appearance of the instrument. \u003cp\u003e\n\n• Traditional Bulb Heel and Frailing Scoop\n• Deluxe P-130 Golden Gate Planet Tuners for precise, easy tuning\n• Considerate, removable P-101 Armrest for playing comfort\n• Patented No-Knot Tailpiece\n• Schwimmer-style fifth string pip for accurate intonation\n• Deluxe ProTour gig bag with Gold Star logo included  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• MFSKU GE-1  • UPC 688382048805\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gold Star","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50499387195648,"sku":"122433","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0448\/3684\/7779\/files\/Gold_Star_GE-1_Old_Time_Prospector_Openback_Banjo_with_Soft_Case.png?v=1790970333","url":"https:\/\/www.twintown.com\/products\/gold-star-ge-1-old-time-prospector-openback-banjo-with-soft-case","provider":"Twin Town Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
