Deering Artisan Goodtime Special Resonator Banjo

The Deering Artisan Goodtime Special Resonator Banjo embodies Greg Deering’s lifelong vision to make an affordable banjo that is the best sounding, best playing, and best looking US-made banjo in its class. Finished in a pre-war style, dark brown stain with vintage artisan inlay package with a classic fiddle-head peghead and planetary tuners. A solid, dependable instrument that is immensely playable with excellent tone and clarity.

The “Special” versions of the Goodtime family of banjos feature a patented steel tone-ring based on the Deering “Eagle 20-10” tone- ring, tightly fitted to the maple, 3 ply rim  using a 20-ton press. Many banjos at twice the price can’t compare to the Special tone-ring technology.  The all- maple neck, rim and resonator construction produces that classic Bluegrass “snap” we expect from a superior banjo.

All Deering banjos include The Twelfth Fret’s complete setup; head tension set to G#, action at 5/64, bridge positioning for ideal intonation and capo spikes installed.

We also carry the open back and resonator Special models in the standard natural blond maple finish; featuring the same wood-species and tone at an even lower price.

All Goodtime banjos have a 6 year manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring the quality of materials and workmanship.
