The specs read like those of a mandolin costing much more: ALL-SOLID WOOD CONSTRUCTION (spruce top, maple back and sides), radiused ebony fretboard with traditional inlays and adjustable radiused bridge, gold-plated hardware, bone nut, cast-brass tailpiece and Grover tuning machine-heads.
Gold Tone was founded by Wayne and Robyn Rogers, who still operate it to this day. Their extended family works hard every day to ensure that each instrument that leaves their facility meets the highest standards of utility and value. All Gold Tone instruments are designed in-house by Wayne and their luthiers and are available nowhere else. Each and every instrument is played and inspected by Robyn Rogers herself, before being sent out into the world. Gold Tone says: At Gold Tone, we care about YOU, the player. Anyone who has ever owned a Gold Tone instrument is truly part of our family.
