It's the flagship of Scott Avett's two-model signature line — a full-power resonator built for a player who drives rhythm as hard as he carries melody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat Grenadillo tone ring is the same lineage Deering uses on its John Hartford model, and it shows: notes ring out with more overtone complexity and sustain than a standard bell-bronze ring, without turning brittle or harsh under a hard right hand. It's a banjo built for stage volume — the kind of high-energy, cutting drive that defines the Avett Brothers' sound — but it never loses the warmth that makes a resonator worth picking up over the open-back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScott Avett designed the custom \"Truth\" inlays himself, and they run the peghead and the full length of the A-grade ebony fingerboard — a signature look no other Deering carries. The quartersawn walnut neck wears a satin finish over an ebony nut, paired with a 3-ply poplar-and-walnut resonator and nickel-plated hardware throughout. For a player who wants Deering's flagship tone ring and a genuine piece of Scott Avett's own design language, this is the banjo built to carry both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy Choose The Acoustic Shoppe?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen you choose to purchase from us, you're not just making a transaction; you're investing in an exceptional experience.

Built on Deering's classic Vega Vintage Star platform, it's an open-back that trades bark for warmth without losing note definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wider 12-inch maple rim adds depth most open-backs can't match, softening the attack while letting notes bloom and sustain. It's built for players who lean into frailing and clawhammer, where that rounded, natural voice does the talking — but the ebony fingerboard and 22 nickel-silver frets keep it precise enough for melodic and three-finger styles too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScott Avett's own inlay designs run the length of the ebony fingerboard, while the peghead carries Vega's classic star — a nod to the platform this banjo is built on. The quartersawn maple neck wears a dark walnut stain under a satin finish, matched to a wooden Deering armrest and nickel-plated hardware throughout. For a player chasing the deep, textured voice of a vintage open-back with the reliability of a new instrument, this is a banjo built to be played, not just displayed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy Choose The Acoustic Shoppe?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen you choose to purchase from us, you're not just making a transaction; you're investing in an exceptional experience.
