Description
The Gold Tone CC-100 Cripple Creek 5-String Banjo has earned its reputation as a go-to choice for beginner and intermediate players alike, thanks to its unbeatable value, quality components, and expert setup. With more than 25,000 units shipped worldwide, this long-standing favorite is designed to inspire confident picking and smooth progression on your musical journey.
The CC-100 features a hard maple neck and multi-ply maple rim for a clear, punchy tone, while the rolled brass tone ring adds warmth and projection. A black-bound rosewood fingerboard with snowflake inlays, dual coordinator rods, and a two-way adjustable truss rod all contribute to stable performance and easy playability. Finished with a high-gloss natural look and detailed with an engraved armrest and curly maple headstock veneer, the CC-100 is as handsome as it is responsive.
It comes fully set up at the Gold Tone workshop in Florida—ready to play straight out of the gig bag.
