The Gold Tone Mastertone "Bluegrass Heart" Béla Fleck Signature banjo is designed to be as close as possible to the sound and feel of his "Number 1" instrument, a 1937 Style 75 Mastertone. The finest components available are used to optimize the sound and the playing experience, with a Prucha Presto tailpiece, Rickard Cyclone 10:1 tuning machines (with custom, red-anodized brass buttons for added peghead mass), custom bridge and Little Mountain armrest all doing their part to enhance tuning ease and stability, full-bodied tone and playing comfort.
