Overview

Classic look and tone, great price.

Combining a special alloy steel tone ring with the rich brown stain and satin finish of the Classic line of Goodtime banjos, Deering created a professional looking and sounding resonator banjo that is at home in the studio, on stage, at the festival or in the living room. The planetary tuners and geared fifth string peg make tuning easy. The fifth string has capoing spikes at frets #7, #9, & #10, which allows easy playing in the keys of A, B, and C. The professional tone and power and traditional appearance for the Classic Goodtime Special belies the very modest price of this affordable banjo. Goodtime delivers. Made in the USA.
