Featuring Midnight Maple Fingerboard and Vintage Artisan inspired inlays!
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.
Here is a banjo you can have right there
by your easy chair or take out an play in a jam. It holds its own as a
bluegrass banjo for anyone looking for a lighter weight 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. You'll appreciate how light it is
when you reach over to pick it up and enjoy playing it.
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.
The stunning new Artisan Goodtime banjos embody Greg Deering’s
lifelong vision for the Deering Banjo Company – to make the best
sounding, best playing, best looking, and best value U.S.A. made banjo
that he possibly could. It is a never ending quest that Deering pursues
every single day. So with improved tooling and a higher than normal dose
of creativity, we bid farewell to our old friend the Classic Goodtime
and welcome with open arms the stunning aesthetic of the new Artisan
Goodtime Banjos.
