Deering Artisan Goodtime Americana Banjo with Scooped Neck - New

The Goodtime Artisan Americana is built for old-time music with its large 12” Grand rim and Renaissance head, delivering a warm, laid-back tone.  Reminiscent of classic larger-rim banjos from the past, it offers a more relaxed and supportive sound compared to the brighter, cutting tone of a traditional 11” banjo. Beautifully crafted in California, this banjo combines vintage character with excellent playability and outstanding value.
