Accessible High Quality With Vintage Style:
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.
