2004 Gold Star GF-85
Excellent+ condition - Fifth string spikes installed. New Huber head and Snuffy Smith bridge.
The 04 and 05 years are the best of the Gold Star reissues, IMO. They have better tuners, a slimmer neck for better playability, and improved plating on the metal hardware.
From Sagamusic.com:
After a ten year hiatus, Gold Star banjos are back and represent quality and value more than ever. With older models fast becoming collectors items, the New GF-85's Pre-War sound and flathead design will assure it will be added to the list!
