The newly Patented Goodtime Special Tone Ring designed by Deering produces a powerfully crisp, bright, sparkling tone, a considerable step up in tone from the original tone ring that was featured on Deering Goodtime Special banjos. The volume of tone is a wonderful surprise to players. This banjo will perform well in a jam session or band setting, feel comfortable, fret correctly, and be a stable instrument you can play for years to come. Case not included.

I love this banjo! PS - great delivery by Sam Ash

First, hats off to Sam Ash for such a quick delivery. I didn't expect to get it in less than 7-10 days and it was at my house in 3 days after my order. As for the banjo, I love playing it. It is such a major improvement over my Fender Concert Tone. Great sound and extremely responsive to hammers, slides and pull-offs (which used to be a lot of work for little payoff on the Fender).

GREAT TIME BANJO

WOW! THIS IS A SPECTACULAR BANJO! THE SOLID MAPLE BACK IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, WITH A BEAUTIFUL BIRDS-EYE PATTERN. THE MAPLE NECK IS EQUALLY FABULOUS. THIS BANJO OOZES QUALITY. THE TONE RING IS SLIGHTLY DULL, LIKE IT'S BEEN AGED. IT LOOKS GREAT. THE HARDWARE IS OF THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST QUALITY. THE FRET WORK IS FANTASTIC. THE SOUND IS JUST PLAIN AMAZING. I NEVER THOUGHT I'D DESCRIBE A BANJO AS "BEAUTIFUL", BUT THIS ONE QUALIFIES.
