An Accessible Replica of the Most Coveted Banjo Ever

Earl Scruggs is widely regarded as the most influential banjo player in history. He popularized the three-finger banjo picking technique, now known as "Scruggs style," which is a hallmark of bluegrass music and has greatly impacted various musical genres. The Epiphone Earl Scruggs Golden Deluxe banjo is inspired by Earl's longtime instrument, a rare Gibson RB-Granada Mastertone five-string, which he played from 1949 until his death in 2012. This Epiphone model features a 3-ply maple resonator with a figured maple veneer, a 3-ply maple rim, and gold hardware, including a gold-plated armrest engraved with designs inspired by Scruggs. The 26.4" scale neck, made of figured maple, has an ebony fretboard with 22 medium/tall frets, adorned with the iconic "Hearts and Flowers" inlay and a Mastertone Block in mother-of-pearl. A hardshell case is included.
