Description

MASTERTONE BOWTIE OPEN BACK BANJO NATURAL INSPIRED BY GIBSON CUSTOM

The Epiphone Mastertone Bowtie Open Back Banjo was inspired by Gibson Mastertone models with “Bowtie” cosmetics from the 1950s and 1960s and delivers high-quality with vintage style at an accessible price point. Perfect for clawhammer/frailing as well as Scruggs style players, it is equipped with a 26.4” scale length satin-finished mahogany neck that features the Gibson “scroll-style” headstock with mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown inlays, the bound laurel fretboard has 22 frets and classic mother-of-pearl Bowtie inlays and a Mastertone block inlay at the end of the fretboard. The rim is layered mahogany with a simple hoop tone ring, and the notched nickel tension hoop and 11” Remo Fiberskyn head are held in place with 24 nickel hooks. The Fiberskyn head contributes warm, full-range,
vintage-inspired tones with outstanding definition and enhanced mid and low-range resonance. A premium gig bag is also included.
