Deering Artisan Goodtime 5-String Openback Banjo #6251
The Deering Artisan Goodtime Openback 5-String Banjo blends quality construction with accessible playability, making it a go-to choice for both new players and seasoned pickers. It features a rock maple neck with a comfortable “D” shape, stained in dark red mahogany and finished in satin for a smooth feel. Vintage artisan-style inlays, a Lexan polycarbonate nut, and stable Goodtime planetary tuners with a geared 5th string tuner ensure accurate tuning and stylish aesthetics. The 11" rim is made of 3-ply violin-grade maple and paired with a frosted top high crown head for bright, articulate tone. Nickel-plated hardware includes 16 flat J-hooks, a beveled steel tension hoop, and Deering’s patented Goodtime tailpiece, while the 5/8" Goodtime Smile bridge enhances tone and intonation. Lightweight at just 4.5 lbs and measuring 38" in length with a 26 1/4" scale, this banjo is built for comfort, tone, and everyday enjoyment.
