Incorporating the classic spank of a banjo with the nylon-string and small-bodied feel of a ukulele, this Little Gem bridges folky sound and comfortable physicality while supplying a show-stopping translucent aesthetic along the way. But looks aren’t everything. With a maple neck and fingerboard, bone nut, and sealed chrome guitar-style tuners, you’ll be delighted by how well this Little Gem can hold its own when the band starts to break a sweat. Perfect for parties, road trips, and youngsters looking to wrangle the banjo ropes, the Little Gem See-through banjo ukulele delivers a feel-good energy that’s a welcome addition for any occasion!

Traditional playability

The roots of the banjo ukulele extend back to the 1920s when their travel-friendly size and gut-stringed Hawaiian-bluegrass hybrid tones piqued the interest of a growing generation of music admirers. Fast-forward 100 years, and Gold Tone’s Little Gem still carries the torch. Outfitted with nylon strings, the low-sustain and plucky nature of the Little Gem pairs well with its traditional banjo-style 8-inch rolled brass flat bar tension hoop construction to deliver bright and spanky playability. And speaking of bright playability, its all-maple neck and 18-fret fingerboard combination provide a brilliant and articulate foundation for standards and solos alike. Quality hardware, including sealed chrome tuners and a bone nut, add to its impressive intonation.

Let the good times roll

From backyard barbeques and patio parties to van jams, vacations, campfires, and beyond, the Gold Tone Little Gem See-Through Banjo Ukulele is a go-to for bringing the energy. Its compact size and playful aesthetic also make it an excellent choice for banjo novices who want a starter instrument that’s fun and easy to find your way around while still delivering the great sound and feel of a quality instrument. It’ll make a stellar sidekick for smaller stages and talent shows, too!

Gold Tone: a legacy of music

The origins of Gold Tone go back to the folk music scene of the ’70s, when musicians Wayne and Robyn Rogers opened a small music shop. Fifteen years later, they founded Gold Tone Banjos in Titusville, Florida. Their first product, the TB-100 banjo, was designed by Wayne. As demand for this critically acclaimed instrument increased, the company expanded its offerings to include a selection of fretted instruments that combine modern innovation and timeless vintage design. The goal? To inspire all musicians, from beginners to professionals, to realize their musical dreams. Today, Sweetwater is pleased to offer you Gold Tone’s exciting range of 4-, 5-, and 6-string banjos, banjo ukuleles, metal- and wood-bodied resonator guitars, Weissenborn Hawaiian steel guitars, and mandolins.
