Description
NOTE: Images show the old style Deluxe in mahogany. This model has not been upgraded to walnut. Walnut is the standard wood and what is currently in stock Built with Deering's genuine bell bronze tone ring, three ply violin
grade maple rim and one piece, cast, zinc resonator flange, this Deluxe
is as easy to play as it is beautiful. The mother of pearl inlay in the peghead, is the very first Deering
logo designed by Greg Deering for his first banjo in 1969. The
multicolor binding and high gloss finish enhance the gold and perloid
inlays on the exotic, natural ebony fingerboard. "The inspiration for
the inlay artwork comes from the early Boston banjo masters. And if you
look at the peghead of the Deluxe, it has some of the same elements as
the Sierra, but it is much more expanded and it comes alive with the
turn of the century Boston masters element - and that was just the
design that flowed out onto the page. It's a lot of fun to have that
kind of artwork on a banjo that people can afford. The first
professional banjo we made was the Deluxe so it always has a very dear
spot to us because it was the first professional banjo we made way back
in '79." Greg Deering One of Deering's oldest and most popular models, this banjo brings
the power, easy playability and maintenance together in a beautiful,
historically important banjo that is just as much at home on the front
porch as it is on the road. It truly is a Deluxe banjo. Neck: Tuned: G,D,G,B,D in standard tuning Dimensions: Warranty:
Now featuring a walnut neck, the Deering Deluxe truly stands out as a
banjo with it's own tone. The walnut neck gives the banjo a perfect
balance of brightness and warmth. When paired with our -06- bell bronze
tone ring, the Deluxe comes alive and gives you a banjo that will stand
out from the pack.
