Deering Eagle II 5-String Banjo

Built around a revolutionary tone ring design, this Eagle II delivers an unbeatable balance of bright, singing trebles and a full, resonant bass response that will effortlessly elevate your playing style. The select maple construction gives this instrument a laser-focused fundamental tone with quick note decay, ensuring every lightning-fast lick cuts cleanly through the dense mix of a live band. Paired with a smooth ebony fretboard, the instrument responds instantly to the lightest touch, providing a crisp, chimey sustain that flatpickers and fingerstyle players dream about.

The Eagle II isn't just a powerful sonic engine; it carries a legendary heritage. The Eagle II platform has earned its place on stage with countless top-tier performers and touring artists who rely on its roadworthy stability and projecting clarity. Its stiffness and density provide a glassy, articulate response that thrives under aggressive play while maintaining pristine clarity when played softly.

Whether you are driving the rhythm in a bluegrass jam or exploring intricate melodic passages, this banjo delivers an expressive, full-bodied voice with plenty of headroom. With its striking high-luster finish and impeccable build quality, it stands out visually just as boldly as it does acoustically.
