Deering Goodtime 2 Banjo - Natural

The Deering Goodtime 2 Banjo is the perfect companion for players seeking that classic, driving bluegrass punch without the back-breaking weight of a traditional tone ring. Crafted with a heart of violin-grade maple, this banjo produces a crisp and articulate voice that rings out with surprising clarity. The inclusion of a maple resonator projects that sound forward with impressive velocity, ensuring you'll be heard clearly in any jam session or live performance.

Since its introduction, the Goodtime series has become a staple for everyone from beginners to seasoned pros who need a reliable, high-quality instrument on the road. Notable artists across various genres, including the likes of Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers, have frequently turned to Deering's craftsmanship to define their acoustic signature. Whether you are flatpicking bright melodies or providing a steady rhythmic backbone, the natural resonance and "laser beam" focus of the maple construction provide the snap and sustain required for professional-grade music making.
