Product Code: GT-GBG

Description
The Goodtime Blackgrass is the ultimate banjo for
players looking for something a little on the darker side. The pure
black stain of the all maple wood is accented with matte black hardware
and a black head which combine to put a dark twist on an otherwise
traditional instrument.
Built exclusively by Deering Banjo Co, the Blackgrass is built in the same San Diego factory as all other Deering models and has a familiar Goodtime vibe that echoes some of the aesthetics as the new Goodtime Artisan line. The Midnight Maple fingerboard is inlaid with Artisan style Pearloid inlays and the banjo still features the ever-present 3-ply violin grade maple for optimum tone and resonance.
