Product description

The American-made Goodtime banjo features a slender, rock maple neck, 3-ply maple rim, sealed geared tuners, and an adjustable tailpiece. The natural, blond maple is finished in elegant satin and the metal parts are nickel plated. The single coordinator rod makes adjustments easy and positive. The maple and ebony bridge sits on an easy to adjust 11 inch, top-frosted head.

The Deering Goodtime is a great banjo at a competitive price, constructed in the U.S. The Goodtime is an open-back banjo, weighing in at just four pounds, so it's ideal for traveling, camping, hiking, or taking to the beach. It provides a vibrant, singing banjo tone, and makes a great "starter" banjo, since it's well-fretted and plays easily.

Slim Neck Profile

The Goodtime banjos have a slender, low-profile neck that is easy to finger and comfortable for large and small hands.The fret work is accurate and precise to ensure correct intonation over the entire fingerboard.

Satin Deering fiddle-shaped peghead with sealed, geared tuning machines.











Three-ply maple rims are standard on all Goodtime banjos.

Adjustable Action

You can adjust the action (string height) on the Goodtime banjo by adjusting the single coordinator rod in the pot easily and effectively adjusts the playability so that the strings are close to the fingerboard and are easy to press down.

Three-Ply Maple Rim

The Rim is the round wood drum part of the banjo: In 2009 Greg Deering finished new tooling to make all Goodtime rims in the higher grade 3-ply maple design. Prior to that they were laminated birch and maple rims. This standard 11-inch diameter rim provides a top quality sound that out performs all other banjos available in this price range. Thanks to this new upgrade, Goodtime banjos sound like they should cost far more they do.

Goodtime Tailpiece

The patented Goodtime tailpiece is extremely strong and easily adjustable to maximize tone by raising or lowering it.The standard 11" diameter rim is a 3-ply violin grade maple rim provides a top quality sound that outperforms many banjos available in this price range. The 16 brackets and standard rim diameter make head adjustments easy and replacement heads are readily available since the heads are the same size as most modern banjos (11" high crown).

Made in the U.S.A.

Deering manufactures the Goodtime Banjo in America at the Deering Banjo Company in Spring Valley, California.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this an open back banjo
Answer:	No, no bag, strap or pickups. But the arm rest is included.
Question:	What size hard case should I get for this banjo
Answer:	Yes it does
Question:	Is this a good banjo for a beginner like me? I don't want a cheap one that sounds lousy
Answer:	Yes, the bridge is packaged separately and you must install it in the correct position. I accomplished this by using the Cleartune app (highly recommended) on my iPhone and adjusting the position of the bridge until the octave fret produced a doubling of frequency on the four lower strings. The set-up took about 15 minutes.
Question:	Aside form tuning, is this banjo set up and ready to play
Answer:	Jason, the Model B10 has a single coordinating rod. The Model B14 and above Washburns have dual rods.Clint D. Harper, Ph.D.

With a Bluegrass resonator back for projection, the Artisan Goodtime Two banjo has a 3-ply violin grade maple rim and produces a bright and clear tone that projects well and is louder than its open back counterpart. The Artisan Two is enhanced with a Rich Brown stain, white detailing and spikes at 7, 9, and 10. The use of spikes enables you to expand your playing from the key of G to easily play in the keys of A, B and C.

It holds its own as a bluegrass banjo for anyone looking for a lighterweight option and has the looks to boot. It's great for hours of practice with an accurate neck that is as comfortable as can be.

Most people who get a Goodtime banjo keep it because they love it even when they step up to their beautiful Deering banjo. The Goodtime banjo still maintains a special place in their life and this is why you don't see a lot of Goodtime banjos on the used market. It's a banjo you can take anywhere. Midnight Maple In the wake of the widely reported over harvesting of exotic woods, commonly used for fingerboards, Deering Banjos has developed Midnight Maple – the result of over four years of research and development (as well as a great deal of patience) to produce a high quality fingerboard that is ethically sustainable, readily available in the US and that could be developed and manufactured in house. Unlike stained maple boards commonly found on instruments of the past, Deering has developed technology to penetrate the tight grain of the rock maple, all the way through the wood. The result is a completely dyed board, made right here in the US from an extremely readily available material. No raw wood shows through from string wear on the fingerboard and stain does not come off on a player’s hands.  Deering Banjo Company was...

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have the 12" head
Answer:	How about this one? http://www.amazon.com/Takamine-GC1124G-G-Series-Jumbo-Guitar/dp/B0028RGAH0/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8I I got mine about a year ago and have no complaints. My GJ72CE-12 fits perfectly in it. A couple other generic jumbo cases I tried weren't big enough. I don't take it out of the house very often, but it looks sturdy enough for hauling around. And it's a really nice-looking case.
Question:	On other sites the weight of Artisian Banjo is listed as 4.5 or sometimes 5.0 lbs. at the most...why is this on listed as 7 pounds? Is it a misprint
Answer:	IT ACTUALLY COMES WITH A WRENCH FOR THE TRUSS I saw this question. And laughed. Almost all guitars have one. Only very very old guitars and well toys don't have truss rods
Question:	I am interested in this for my son, he is left handed, does it matter if he is left handed

Product description

The Americana is the first 5-string banjo from Deering to be fitted with their new Grand 12” rim, which gives the banjo a stronger bass response and a much warmer tone. The fullness and warmth of the larger rim is further enhanced by the addition of a 12” Renaissance head which beautifully complements the banjo both visually and sonically. Continuing the long standing Goodtime philosophy of offering the best value American made banjos available, the Americana is the lowest priced 12” model on the market today and retains the distinctive natural blonde Goodtime aesthetics. In keeping with the rest of the Goodtime line, this banjo also features guitar style tuners, a rock maple neck, nickel plated hardware, and hardwood inlays. Played with an old time style technique, the Americana is reminiscent of banjos from a period when larger rims were more prevalent which makes the 12” a great setup for playing old time music. A traditional 11” banjo with a frosted top head has a far brighter sound and will “cut” more. Since the combination of the Grand 12” rim and the Renaissance head makes for a wonderfully laid back sound in comparison, the Americana lends itself perfectly for musicians looking to use the banjo to back up a vocalist or another instrument, instead of playing the a lead instrument role.

• NEW GRAND 12" RIMFULL, FAT TONE: The new wider Grand 12" rim found on the Goodtime Americana emphasizes the bass response and gives the banjo an unmistakeble tone.
• RENAISANCE HEAD - WARM TONE: The renaissance head complements the Grand 12" rim on the Goodtime Americana to further enhance this banjo's sweet, warm tone.
• ENGRAVED PEGHEAD AMERICANA: Beautiful engraved peghead featuring the Americana name, Goodtime logo, and scrollwork design. Collections: 5 String Banjos, Banjos, Featured Banjos, Goodtime Banjos, In Stock, Openback 5-String Banjos Type: 5 String Banjos
• HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL: Blonde 3-ply Violin-Grade Maple Rim, 5/8" Maple/Ebony Goodtime Bridge, Blonde 3-ply Violin-Grade Maple Rim, Blonde Slender Rock Maple Neck
• OTHER FEATURES: 12-inch Remo Renaissance Medium Crown Head, 16 Bracket Shoes with Screw Attachments, 16 Flat Hooks with 9/32" Nuts, 22 Pressed In Nickel Silver Fretsg,D,G,B,D in standard G tuning Can easily be tuned in other tunings as well.
