<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>The Epiphone Earl Scruggs Golden Deluxe Banjo in Vintage Sunburst finish.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>An Accessible Replica of the Most Sought-After Banjo of All Time, the Earl Scruggs Golden Deluxe Banjo.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Earl Scruggs</strong> is arguably the most influential banjo player in history. He popularized the three-finger banjo picking style, now called <strong>&#8220;Scruggs style,&#8221;</strong> which is a defining characteristic of bluegrass music and was highly influential on multiple genres. The <strong>Epiphone Earl Scruggs Golden Deluxe</strong> is inspired <strong>by Earl&#8217;s longtime musical companion</strong> – a rare <strong>Gibson RB-Granada Mastertone five-string</strong> that was his primary banjo from 1949, when he acquired it, up until his passing in 2012. The <strong>Epiphone Earl Scruggs Golden Deluxe Banjo</strong> features <strong>a 3-ply maple resonator</strong> with figured maple veneer, 3-ply maple rim, and gold hardware, including a gold plated armrest with <strong>Earl Scruggs-inspired engraving, a One Piece Flang</strong>, and a <strong>Mastertone-style plated Brass Tone Ring</strong>. The 26.4&#8243; scale-figured maple neck has an ebony fretboard with 22 medium/tall frets and is adorned with the <strong>famous &#8220;Hearts and Flowers&#8221;</strong> and <strong>a Mastertone Block inlaid in mother-of-pearl</strong>. A hardshell banjo case is also included.</p>
