Deering Goodtime Special 5 String Resonator Back Banjo Natural Satin Made in USA

At The Farm, we don’t rely on bland manufacturer stock photos - we physically photograph one of each model to show a better representation of the product. Some minor details like wood grain and color finish can, and may vary slightly from the pictures below. 

Rest assured, just like on all of our serialized products each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff.

The newly patented Goodtime Special tone ring designed by Deering produces a powerfully crisp, bright, sparkling tone. The volume of tone is a wonderful surprise to players. If you're looking for a banjo with good volume and tone, and prefer to keep the cost as low as possible, then this is the banjo for you.

This Goodtime Special 5 string banjo features a blonde Maple resonator with black binding, an 11" blonde 3-ply violin grade Maple rim, a blonde slender Rock Maple neck with black binding, sealed gear tuners with a geared 5th string tuner, 22 pressed in silver nickel frets, hardwood bow tie inlays and satin natural finish.

This banjo will perform well in a jam session or band setting, feel comfortable, fret correctly, and be a stable instrument you can play for years to come.
