Description

The Goodtime Artisan Americana Banjo features a 12” rim, which produces a banjo a stronger bass response and a much richer warmer tone. The fullness and warmth of the larger rim is further enhanced by the addition of a 12” Renaissance head which complements this banjo both visually and sonically. The Artisan version of the Goodtime Americana features a rich brown stain finish, with planetary banjo tuners, and Midnight Maple fingerboard.

When played with an old time style technique, the Goodtime Artisan Americana is reminiscent of banjos from a period when larger rims were more prevalent, which makes the 12” an ideal setup for playing old time style music. The Americana lends itself to musicians looking to use the banjo to back up a vocalist or another instrument, rather than playing the a lead instrument role.

The stunning new Artisan Goodtime banjos embodies Greg Deering’s lifelong vision for the Deering Banjo Company – to make the best sounding, best playing, best looking, and best value U.S.A. made banjo that he possibly could. It is a never ending quest that Deering pursues every single day.
