The Korena take
The left-handed Gold Tone BT-1000 is a six-string banjo guitar tuned EADGBE, built around a 12-inch maple rim, rolled brass tone ring, and Renaissance head. Its larger rim is described as extending the bass tonal range beyond a typical 11-inch rim. A radiused select-wood fingerboard, sealed guitar-style tuners, and a two-way adjustable truss rod round out the build. It arrives with a gig bag for transport.
