Artisan banjos are distinguished from the "blonde" banjos of the Goodtime line by their dark stained maple neck. This particular model is one of the so-called open-back instruments, i.e. a banjo without a resonator with an open back plate. Its sound can be used in a wide range of styles from bluegrass, folk to jazz. With a weight of just over two kilograms, it is a practical companion for travel, holidays, etc. The instrument's maple fingerboard is fitted with twenty-two pakfong frets, and position markers with Vintage Artisan design make it easy to navigate. An eleven-inch bellows is attached to the maple body by a steel rim. The strings are mounted in high quality Planetary mechanics on one side, and in a nickel-plated steel string through the maple/ebony fingerboard on the other. Tiny protrusions on the seventh, ninth and tenth frets of the fifth string allow for alternative tunings.
All Deering instruments (from professional models to the entry-level Goodtime line) are made in Spring Valley, California, USA by skilled craftsmen. Here, every piece is given the same care and attention to meet strict quality standards.
