Deering Artisan Goodtime Special Banjo

Banjo / HN185299
The Goodtime series is the basic banj series of the American manufacturer Deering. Their common feature is a quality body made of three layers of maple wood (violin grade), which gives the instrument a round, full tone. Offering good playability and holding tuning beautifully, they are an ideal first choice for beginning banjo players of all ages.

Artisan banjos are distinguished from the "blonde" banjos of the Goodtime line by their dark stained maple neck. This model of the five-string Artisan Goodtime Special banjo is one of the so-called resonators, i.e. it has an arched dark stained maple wood cover with black trim on the back. The Special in the name refers to the special patented steel tone-ring. Thanks to the combination of resonator and tone-ring, the banjo has a clear tone and piercing sound that will surprise many. Its sound is at home in a wide range of styles, whether as a solo instrument or as part of a band.

The instrument's maple fingerboard is fitted with twenty-two pakfong frets, and orientation around its surface is made easy by pearl position markers with a Vintage Artisan design. An eleven-inch bellows is attached to the tone-ring by a steel rim. The strings are mounted in high-quality Planetary mechanics on one side, and in a nickel-plated steel stringer on the other via a maple/ebony fingerboard. Tiny protrusions on the seventh, ninth and tenth frets of the fifth string allow for alternative tunings. The visual impact is enhanced by the stylish bow-shaped headstock with ornate Goodtime Special engraving.

All Deering instruments (from professional models to the entry-level Goodtime line) are made in Spring Valley, California, USA by skilled craftsmen. Here, each piece is given the same care and attention to meet strict quality standards.
