By popular demand, our friends at The Deering Banjo Company have begun offering a dressed up version of the incredible and affordable Goodtime 2 Banjo with Resonator.  This banjo, the Goodtime 2 Classic, features a 3-ply maple rim, maple resonator 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 covering the rim, neck and resonator entirely.  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.  Great sound with nice projection and clarity - a great intermediate banjo and perfect for a luck beginner - though we know several pros who own one too!
