Authorized Dealer

Featuring a Midnight Maple fingerboard and vintage artisan-inspired inlays, Deering Artisan Goodtime Special has the look of an older banjo with its rich brown stain, Deering fiddle-shaped peghead and planetary banjo tuners. Artisan Goodtime Special has a sweet voice with sustain that complements all the instruments in a band. Tuned to an open G chord with the spikes already installed, you can easily play in other keys.

Slender rock maple neck, 3-ply violin-grade maple rim and maple resonator, all stained rich brown
Planetary tuners and geared 5th string tuner
Spikes installed at 7th, 9th and 10th frets
Pressed-in nickel silver frets
Steel coordinator rod
11" rim diameter, 13.875" resonator diameter
Deering fiddle-shaped peghead with engraved Goodtime logo
Deering patented Goodtime tailpiece

Please note, Deering instruments use a coated top banjo head. The manufacturing process can leave overspray on the edge of the head which rubs off during normal use. This overspray can also be removed with a microfiber cloth.

Artisan Goodtime banjos epitomize Greg Deering's lifelong vision for the Deering Banjo Company: to make the best sounding, best playing, best looking and best value USA-made banjo that he possibly could. Pearloid vintage artisan style inlays pop off the Midnight Maple fingerboard, while the peg head is adorned with a beautifully engraved design.

Artisan Goodtime Special is an achievement in keeping costs down while providing an instrument that will stay in tune and perform reliably because it's made with precision by skilled American craftsmen. Made efficiently at the Deering factory in Spring Valley, CA, this is a comfortable banjo with a wonderfully bright tone, a solid, dependable instrument that is immensely playable with excellent tonality and clarity.
