Overview

Pay tribute to a bluegrass legend with the Epiphone Earl Scruggs Signature banjo.

The Epiphone Earl Scruggs Signature Golden Deluxe banjo lets you channel the iconic sound of the banjo pioneer. Inspired by Earl Scruggs' own Gibson RB-Granada Mastertone, this handcrafted banjo produces deep, rich tones perfect for Scruggs-style picking. The 3-ply maple resonator, rim and figured maple neck provide a solid foundation for the warm, balanced sound. The figured maple veneer resonator and gold hardware, including an Earl Scruggs-inspired engraved armrest, give this banjo vintage appeal. The 22-fret ebony fingerboard features pearl block inlays and the famous "Hearts and Flowers" design, allowing smooth solos and rolls in style. Play the banjo that helped define bluegrass.

Premium Materials for Authentic Tone

The Earl Scruggs Signature banjo uses the same premium materials as Earl's original Gibson to deliver resonant, projection tone. The 3-ply maple rim, resonator and figured neck provide the ideal combination of strength and vibration. The figured maple veneer adds gorgeous grain patterns. Ebony, known for its hardness and smoothness, ensures comfortable fretting during intricate solos. These hand-selected tonewoods resonate with the history of Scruggs' influential style.

Vintage-Inspired Details

One look at the Earl Scruggs Signature banjo transports you to the golden age of bluegrass. The pearl block inlays on the ebony fingerboard are modeled after the original "Hearts and Flowers" design. Gold hardware, including planetary tuners, resonator brackets and rim cap, complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic. These touches honor Earl's legacy and the instrument that helped make him famous.

Play Like a Legend

The Earl Scruggs Signature banjo was designed to inspire today's pickers. The 22-fret ebony fingerboard and medium frets make Scruggs-style rolls and solos easy to play. The 26-1⁄4" scale neck has a C profile for comfort. Whether you want to learn Earl's groundbreaking technique or develop your own style, this banjo delivers the tone and feel to take your playing to the next level. Protect your investment with an included hardshell case.
