Comparision between the Goodtimes Special and the Gold Tone BG250 Models
The Goodtime Special is a good sounding banjo, and very easy to play.
It is a natural unstained maple, so is a bit rugged in appearance, but
it also has "character."
It is a great first banjo, and would make a super 2nd banjo someday for
travel, etc.
The Gold Tone BG250 is also an excellent sounding banjo.
This banjo has the traditional dark stain & a shiny lacquer finish.
The resonator can easily be removed to play this banjo as an openback
banjo, also.
It is not as stable as the BG250F, however, which as a full one-piece
flange. The resonator attaches to the BG250 with 4 t-plates, rather
than a 1-piece flange.
The Gold Tone BG250F is a fuller sounding banjo than the BG250, and is
also very easy to play.
The larger resonator and flange contribute to the tone quality. This is
a more traditional bluegrass banjo, which is excellent for the 3-finger
style of picking.
It also has the traditional dark, shiny finish of most of the
professional banjos.
I hope this helps. All three are excellent banjos in this price range.
