Deering Eagle II 5-String Resonator Banjo w/Spikes Installed #2259

The Deering Eagle II 5-String Resonator Banjo is built for players who want modern power with a refined, professional feel. This banjo features a quartersawn maple neck with a slender D shape that feels fast and comfortable, finished in Deering’s distinctive Eagle Red gloss. The ebony fingerboard and engraved Eagle inlays give it a clean, confident look that matches its focused tone.

At the heart of the Eagle II is Deering’s patented Twenty-Ten tone ring paired with a three ply violin grade maple rim. This combination delivers a clear, punchy response with excellent note separation and strong projection, making it a great fit for bluegrass, contemporary banjo work, and ensemble playing. The maple resonator, finished in matching Eagle Red, adds depth and volume without sacrificing clarity.

This Eagle II comes stage ready with spikes installed at frets 7, 8, 9, and 10, along with Deering planetary tuners and a geared fifth string tuner for reliable tuning on the fly. It is a banjo that feels precise, balanced, and dependable, whether it is being played hard on stage or enjoyed during long practice sessions at home.
