Description
The stunning new Artisan Goodtime banjo embodies Greg
Deering’s lifelong vision for the Deering Banjo Company – to make the
best sounding, best playing, best looking, and best value U.S.A. made
banjo that he possibly could. It is a never ending quest that Deering
pursues every single day. So with improved tooling and a higher than
normal dose of creativity, we bid farewell to our old friend the Classic
Goodtime and welcome with open arms the stunning aesthetic of the new
Artisan Goodtime Banjos.
The familiar rich dark brown stain, planetary tuning pegs and the addition of 5th string spikes at frets 7, 9, 10 for alternate tunings allows this light weight maple banjo to exceed the features customers wanted and needed. The violin-grade maple rim is made of the same wood used on the professional level Deering models and gives the Goodtime banjo a rich, full, round note distinction.
Light weight enough to travel with,
convenient enough to keep by your easy chair at home, the Goodtime
Artisan is great for hours of practice with a neck that is both
comfortable to play and accurate to fret. This Goodtime banjo is not
only beautiful to look at but will bring you hours of musical enjoyment.
Featuring Midnight Maple Fingerboard and Vintage Artisan inspired inlays!
With a bluegrass resonator back for
projection, the Artisan Goodtime Two banjo has a 3-ply violin grade
maple rim and produces a bright and clear tone that projects well and is
louder than its open back counterpart. The
Artisan Two is enhanced with a rich brown stain, white detailing and
spikes at 7, 9, and 10. The use of spikes enables you to expand your
playing from the key of G to easily play in the keys of A, B, and C.
