New from Gold Star! The Gold Star GE-1 "Prospector" is a throwback to the banjo of yesterday, featuring vintage stylings and a scoop at the base of the neck -- the ideal frailing banjo! This instrument is the perfect introduction to the world of fingerstyle banjo playing, but would certainly welcome all techniques and styles.
