Gold Tone Orange Blossom Plus OB-250+ The OB-250+ takes the great features of the OB-250 and adds even more professional-level quality. Gold Tone has taken the celebrated OB-250 and improved it dramatically by adding many unique features reserved for only the highest-quality banjos. Upgraded features include the JLS tone ring, 3-ply Canadian maple rim, curly maple neck, Gary Sosebee Cotton Mill bridge, and a deluxe TKL arched case. The JLS Tone Ring is a replica of the Gibson tone ring used in the Granada models in the 30's. The maker, from Texas, has analyzed an original tone ring and duplicated the exact specifications. When electronically tested for pitch, sustain, and ring, it equals the original. It also has a slightly longer "skirt" which (1) provides more contact with wood rim and (2) provides direct contact with the heel of the neck. The neck is attached with a conventional hanger bolt going through a hole at the edge of the tone ring. This method provides an extremely tight fit and maximum heel contact with tone ring. Materials & Parts Gary Sosebee Cotton mill bridge: The maple on this bridge is over 100 years old from an old cotton mill and is handmade. The 3rd string is intonated by Gary. This is the best bridge we have found for the OB 250. Tone Ring: JLS Tone Ring Flange: One piece pot metal Rim: 3 Ply Maple ..Used on most professional banjos, has less glue for better tone than a multi- ply rim Deluxe Case: Includes TKL Deluxe arched top case with plush velour padding, lock, padded handle and perfect fit Nut Adjustment: Grooves are cut ½ thickness of string which prevents string binding and will provide better use of Keith style tuners. Neck: Maple Tension Hoop: Nickel-plated brass, for more sustain Tuners: Planetary Tailpiece: Straight Line Tailpiece Truss Rod: Square two way adjustable Fingerboard: Ebony with MOP hearts and flower inlay Resonator: Maple (includes flame maple veneer in two tone sunburst) Other Features One Piece Die Cast Flange, Curly maple headstock veneer with MOP inlay Deluxe TKL arched case Options Capo Spikes, Lefty, Gold Plated (Includes Case) Suggested Retail Price: $1895 Encore Sale Price: $1412
