Gold Tone ML-1 Bela Fleck 5 String Baritone Banjo con Case

Béla’s previous experience with the Gold Tone cello banjo brought him to Wayne Rogers. The two collaborated in the design and, after many months of experimentation and various challenges, the ML-1 was created

To produce the lower tone with a traditional sound in the lower register, Gold Tone use a 12-inch, 3-ply Maple Rim with a bronze tone ring.

After testing a variety of neck and bridge options, Béla signed off on the Compound Radius (5”-9”) Ebony Fingerboard attached to a Hard Rock Canadian Maple neck and a Cathedral-like radius bridge standing 7/8” over the signature black Remo head.

Jumbo frets, the exclusive “Terminator” tailpiece and the Gold Tone patented Zer0 Glide system complete the perfect formula for the throaty ML-1. Béla’s nouveau inlay design courses the length of the fingerboard and finishes on the C-Cut headstock.

Black Binding, Black Tuner Buttons and the Black Head create a bold, autonomous look.
