Deering Goodtime Americana Scooped Fingerboard 5-String Open Back Banjo #0253
The Deering Goodtime Americana 5-String Open Back Banjo brings a warm, old-time sound with its larger 12” rim and Renaissance head. Crafted with a rock maple neck and comfortable "D" shape profile, this banjo is built for effortless playability, whether you're picking clawhammer or traditional bluegrass. The 3-ply violin-grade maple rim enhances resonance and low-end depth, giving it a rich, full-bodied tone. With sealed geared tuners and a Goodtime geared 5th-string tuner, tuning is smooth and reliable. Hardwood Art Deco-inspired inlays add a subtle touch of style to the fingerboard, and the satin hand-rubbed polyurethane finish keeps the feel natural and easy on the hands. Weighing only 4.5 lbs, it's lightweight and easy to handle, making it a great choice for beginners and seasoned players alike. Whether you're exploring Appalachian melodies or accompanying a folk tune, the Goodtime Americana delivers a sweet, mellow sound with the build quality to last a lifetime.
