Deering Winston Marshall Signature Banjo

The Winston Marshall Signature Model by Deering is, in his own words, the ultimate touring banjo. Every detail of this banjo has a purpose. Some are by necessity; features that he has adopted over the last eight years of playing Deering Eagle II banjos on some of the biggest stages on the planet. Others are personal aesthetics, revealing a glimpse into the mind of the man who has arguably brought banjo to the forefront of modern popular culture.

The combination of the rennaissance head mounted to a grenadillo tone ring gives the Winston Marshall Signature Model a warm, yet punchy tone.

The electronics are a key feature of the Winston Marshall Model. A Kavanjo pick up at the neck, with a piezo pick up under the bridge, are controlled by conveniently located volume knobs for a huge range of tones. Between the knobs is a 3-way toggle switch, giving the player the ability to select the Kavanjo or piezo, or simply blend the two at the flick of a switch.

Unique to the Winston Marshall Signature Model is the addition of both a standard 1/4" output jack and an XLR jack. The addition of the XLR jack allows you to install a microphone inside the pot of the banjo and capture a fully natural acoustic banjo tone. The 1/4" jack connects to the Kavanjo pickup and piezo pickup so you can plug into an amplifier and effect pedals.
