THis Deering Golden Era 5-String banjo may look like it’s wrapped up for today’s snowstorm, but it’s just a fleecy strap around the pot.

The Sierra is one of Deering’s most popular banjos for good reason – it’s an excellent instrument. The Deering Sierra Mahogany is also available in Maple. Both versions carry a host of high-end features that are very meaningful in terms of tone and playability , but have less decoration than higher-priced models.

MORE →The Deering Tenbrooks Legacy banjo is a professional grade instrument combining Mahogany for the neck and resonator with Maple for the tone ring. This example dates to 2004, built in Spring Valley California, and has a rather low serial number – 0020. It is in overall good shape, but it has definitely been used as intended and there is moderate fret wear and a few small scuffs around the resonator.
