Deering Goodtime Banjo
The Goodtime banjo is made in America, within the Deering factory and is designed to produce the finest tone and playability possible for the lowest possible price. The rock maple neck has the frets fitted into the neck the same way many of the classic (now collector's item) electric guitars in the '60's were made and are still made today. This technique has passed the test of time. The neck has a slender, low profile that makes it a joy to play for hands of all sizes.

Deering John Hartford
The John Hartford model has two very special advantages. First -- it is lighter weight than most other bluegrass banjos, and secondly it has an amazing tone. It sounds like a vintage pre-war banjo. But the unusual thing is that as it ages, it "plays-in" like a violin and gains in volume and presence the more it is played. We've seen it out-do even the best bronze tone-ring banjos in jam sessions. Minimum Allowed Advertised Price: $3,369.Call for Special Pricing!
