  • Deering G2 Goodtime 2 Banjo

    Deering G2 Goodtime 2 Banjo

    $859.00
    Greg Deering designed the Goodtime banjos because there were no low priced banjos of enough quality for people to actually learn on without difficulty or giving up. He remembers what it was like to want a good banjo and not be able to afford one, so his gift to others is the Goodtime banjo line. Designed for success, the Goodtime banjos are the lowest priced American made banjos. They are so good many professionals have recorded with Goodtime banjos. The Goodtime Two weighs 6 lbs - about the weight of a guitar. The Goodtime Two has a natural blonde maple with a satin finish to protect it. The rich, golden tone and the reverberation off the resonator sound great. You can definitely tell a volume difference between open back and a Goodtime Two. The sound waves aren't getting trapped between you and the banjo, which makes a pretty big difference. If you want a great low priced bluegrass banjo for travel and leisure that plays correctly and is durable, this is the best buy on the market! Comes with embroidered Deering Bag!

  • Deering G6SR Goodtime 6
    Sold

    Deering G6SR Goodtime 6

    This banjo fills a void in the Goodtime 6-string banjo lineup as it features a resonator (the back of a banjo - some banjos have open backs and others have resonators). The addition of the resonator gives the banjo more projection of tone, making it louder and brighter to the player's audience. The new Goodtime G6SR also differs from its other Goodtime 6-string banjo brethren by featuring a Midnight Maple fingerboard . The Midnight Maple fingerboard is a pressure stained piece of maple, giving it a charcoal color which contrasts beautifully with the blonde maple wood on the rest of the banjo. The 6 string banjo is tuned and played just like a guitar. If you are a guitar player, just play your licks and have them feel fresh and new on the new Goodtime G6SR 6-string banjo. This is a great banjo for bluegrass flatpicking, rock & roll, blues, jazz, and much more!
