2003 Gold Star GF-85

Price: $1,600.00 USD

#75/100 (serial # 030075) with the Cox Rim/Resonator.

Scorpion compensated bridge, Ludwig head.

Fishman pick-up installed.

Superior case with one busted latch (included in the case.)

This thing is in mint condition. If there's a scuff anywhere on it, I can't find it! Plays great, sounds great (Ludwig head is a bit on the thick side, giving it a warmer tone. I like the warmer tone, but a new head would brighten it up if that's the sound you want!)

I have a video available to send for a sound clip.

I would love to trade up (I can send boot!), but if you want to buy it, I'll take $1,500 + shipping if I can keep the pick-up.

My end goal is to trade/sell my way up to an Osborne Chief, a R&T Sonny Osborne model, a Krako, or a Sonflower (see the trend?) but I won't rule out any US made banjos! Send me what you have, and what your thoughts are on the boot you'd want for a trade!

*I get INUNDATED with emails, so it can take me a bit longer to respond that way. Feel free to call/text @ (865)2Zero6-Zero425 instead!*
