Gold Tone Resonator Installation for AC-1 Banjo

Warmth, Projection, and a Whole New Voice for Your AC-1

Take your Gold Tone AC-1 banjo from practice room favourite to stage-ready performer with this purpose-built Gold Tone Resonator Installation. Designed specifically for the lightweight, beginner-friendly AC-1, this add-on gives your open-back banjo a punchier tone, increased projection, and that unmistakable resonator bark—all without sacrificing the comfort and playability that made you love it in the first place.

The resonator attaches securely to the back of the AC-1’s pot using a custom-designed flange and bracket system, converting your banjo into a bluegrass-ready powerhouse. Whether you’re looking to play louder in jam settings or simply want that rich, forward sound associated with classic resonator banjos, this upgrade is a smart, simple, and effective solution.

Constructed from durable yet lightweight materials, it complements the AC-1’s composite pot and keeps the instrument well-balanced. It also adds aesthetic polish, making the banjo look more traditional without adding excessive bulk.

At Musicmaker, we often recommend this upgrade to players who’ve started their journey with the AC-1 and are now ready to enhance their tone without switching instruments. It’s an excellent way to evolve your setup and explore new sonic territory.
