What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Maple body Long sustain, good projection, bright tone
Rock maple neck Superior strength and bright sound
Satin-finished neck Fast, smooth and easy playing feel

A resonator back provides more projection of sound in the Deering Goodtime 2. The Deering Goodtime 2 is made here in the USA, at the Deering shop with the same tooling they use to make the top of the line banjos. Greg Deering designed the Goodtime banjos because there were no low priced banjos of enough quality for people to actually learn on without difficulty or giving up. He remembers what it was like to want a good banjo and not be able to afford one, so his gift to others is the Goodtime banjo line. Designed for success, the Goodtime banjos are the lowest priced American made banjos. They are so good many professionals have recorded with Goodtime banjos.
