Gold Tone isn’t just the company’s name, it’s exactly what you get with the CC-100RW Cripple Creek Resonator Banjo from Sweetwater!Maple tonewoods: a bluegrass essential The CC-100RW offers assertive bluegrass tone from a brand that knows banjo building like the back of its hand! The CC-100RW’s neck and body rim are built from a smooth, stout species known as hard rock maple. Maple is a classic tonewood for folk instruments, as its tone is strong, clear, resonant, and distinct. Maple also has a bright attack, strengthening acoustic clarity with better note volume and projection. The CC-100RW features a mighty eleven-inch dual maple resonator for even more volume, brightness, and attack clarity; such extra power is essential when competing with a loud guitarist (or two) at any porch-pickin’ event. Wait, it’s convertible? The CC-100RW is practically two banjos in one! When situations demand old-school open-back banjo tone, players can detach the CC-100RW’s resonator. Resulting tones are darker and warmer, with a perfect character for clawhammer or folk.Terminator tailpiece: a bend-free banjo enhancer Proprietary hardware like Gold Tone’s Terminator tailpiece gives players at any level serious bang for their buck. But does this bend-free tailpiece live up to its aggressive name? Absolutely. The Terminator’s high-mass build still delivers old-school tone while also improving upon the brittle, bend-prone nature of old-school tailpieces. The Terminator will never bend, and that’s a Gold Tone guarantee. Moreover, players can string the Terminator with loop- or ball-end strings. Your favorite banjo strings are always an option, and you can use whatever strings are available in a pinch — at a gig, for example. The Terminator’s tone seals the deal with tight body contact that helps strings resonate more for power and projection that holds nothing back.Zero Glide: patented precision makes playability smooth Gold Tone’s Zero Glide nut is a tiny piece of hardware that enhances instrument performance drastically. The patented design pairs a sustain-boosting bone nut with a hard nickel-silver “zero fret” for enhanced reliability and sound. Zero Glide nuts grace the headstocks of electric guitars, acoustic guitars, banjos, and even ukuleles. The benefits are clearly universal! Zero Glide’s precision-cut string slots further reduce string contact by a staggering 93% at the nut — meaning fewer tuning breaks and better resonance, especially when playing gets aggressive. Zero Glide also narrows sonic differences between fretted- and open-string notes while solving common intonation issues for innovative accuracy without compromising character.Gold Tone CC-100RW Cripple Creek Acoustic-electric Resonator Banjo Features: A modified CC-100R resonator banjo with the wider fingerboard favored by many pros Hard maple neck and multi-ply maple rim deliver clear tone with distinct banjo twang Loud 11-inch maple resonator is voiced for bluegrass; easily removes for warm open-back tones (fit for clawhammer and folk) Wider 1–5/16-inch Zero Glide nut and rosewood fingerboard offer extra fret-hand comfort and precision High-performance Terminator tailpiece; vintage-inspired but enhanced for modern durability and performance Musical rolled brass tone ring and maple/ebony tailpiece 2-way truss and dual coordinator rods allow full-spectrum adjustment of neck and string action Premium GT Planetary tuners support enhanced tuning stability 11-inch Remo LC Coated Topside head Receives a full setup at Gold Tone’s Florida facility for quality assurance SpecificationDetail Type Acoustic String Type Steel Number of Strings 5 Body Style Resonator Color Natural Finish Gloss Top Material 11" Remo LC Coated Topside Body Material Multi-ply Maple (rim), Maple (resonator) Neck Material Maple Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Snowflakes Number of Frets 22 Scale Length 26.1875" Nut Material ZeroGlide Nut Width 1.31" Bridge Material Maple Tuners GT Planetary Hardware Chrome Strings .011, .024w, .016, .013, .011 Case Included Gig Bag RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
