Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold Tone’s WL-250 White Ladye is an open-back banjo with a plunky yet punchy voice for old-time and folk work. Its vintage-style three-part White Ladye tone ring replica works with a 1/2-inch rim designed for maximum air-chamber volume. The maple neck, bound ebony fingerboard, cloud inlays, and frailing scoop shape its playing layout, while dual coordinator rods allow neck-fit adjustment. Factory final assembly and complete setup are performed in Florida, and a hardshell case is included.
