A highly decorated 5-string with that great Flathead tone.
Most banjo players agree that the ideal bluegrass banjo was the Flathead built in very limited quantities
during the 1930's. To meet this demand and to offer it at a price any player could afford, Saga Musical Instruments introduced
the original GF-100 banjo in the early 1970's. Ever since these banjos were discontinued in the late 1980's due to costly
manufacturing methods in Japan, they have continued to be topics of discussion for their legendary sound and value.
The
Gold Star GF-300FE (Flying Eagle) continues in that tradition and is a 5-string banjo that is loaded with top-notch appointments
such as hand-cut mother of pearl flying eagle patterned inlays, beautiful flamed maple neck and resonator body, triple bound
ebony fingerboard, gold-plated hardware, brass flange, and a bronze tone ring. Includes a hardshell banjo case.
