Gold Tone CC-T Tenor Cripple Creek Resonator w/Bag

The Gold Tone CC-Tenor delivers classic tenor banjo clarity, projection, and versatility at an exceptional value—perfect for Dixieland jazz, Celtic sessions, folk ensembles, or lively rhythm work. Part of Gold Tone’s renowned Cripple Creek series, this model offers clean aesthetics, quality construction, and a smooth playing feel that has made it a favourite starter and gigging instrument worldwide.

With its 19-fret maple neck, multi-ply maple rim, and 13" maple resonator, the CC-Tenor provides bright attack and impressive volume. The 11" rolled brass tone ring adds crispness and definition, while the removable resonator lets you tailor your sound—open-back warmth or resonator punch on demand.

Set up at Gold Tone’s workshop in Titusville, Florida, the CC-Tenor arrives ready for fast melodies, chord comping, and traditional CGDA tenor tuning. Durable chrome hardware, snowflake inlays, and a natural gloss finish complete a professional-grade presentation at an accessible price.
