Deering Goodtime Acoustic/Electric 5-String Openback Banjo - New

Everyone's favorite American-made banjo can now be turned up to 11, thanks to the addition of a fully passive Kavanjo® humbucking pickup. This makes it easy to quickly plug into your favorite amp, pedals or PA system and eliminates feedback. When the Goodtime banjo was first released in 1996, it revolutionized the banjo world cementing its place as a lightweight, affordable, great-sounding American-made banjo, heralded for its affordability and great value. Today, the Deering Goodtime banjo is as popular as ever, continuing to be the choice among musicians of all skill levels, thanks to its excellent craftsmanship, superior sound quality, and affordable price point. It is also the most recommended banjo for beginners! Central to the success of the Goodtime banjo is the construction which utilizes high-quality materials and components, including a three-ply violin-grade maple rim, and an exceptionally stable and slender hard rock maple neck, ensuring that it delivers a rich, full sound with excellent clarity and projection. The Goodtime tailpiece is our own design, the tension hoop is rolled in-house from raw metal. Deering took time to source the best possible tuners to compliment the Goodtime affordability and topped it off with the best banjo strings on the market.
