By popular demand, our friends at The Deering Banjo Company have begun offering a dressed up version of the incredible and affordable Goodtime I Openback. This banjo, the Goodtime I Classic, features a 3-ply rim and a slim, playable neck just like the standard Goodtime and it is also 100% built in the USA. What makes it different though, are the traditional headstock, traditional (non-guitar-style) tuners, 5th string spikes (A,B,C) and the attractive brown stain. It sounds great, looks very traditional and is still an economical way to buy American. Banjo's are just fun - and this one will keep you smilin' for a long time.
