The BC-350, the first Bob Carlin model issued by Gold Tone, was the result of a meeting between Bob and Gold Tone president Wayne Rogers at the 2004 IBMA Fan Fest. All of the BC-350 features and dimensions are straight from Bob Carlin's specifications, following several rounds of iteration and trips by Bob to the Gold Tone plant. The BC-350 features a twelve-inch three-ply maple pot with an innovative dowel-stick/coordinator rod, a rolled brass tone ring, maple neck with a scooped ebony fretboard, planetary-gear tuning machines, No Knot tailpiece, and "hot dog" armrest. All of the metal parts are nickel-plated for long-wearing durability. Every BC-350 is set up by skilled hands in our Florida shop. Also available as a left-handed model.
