The Deering Artisan Goodtime Special banjo is a great all around 5 string banjo without too much cost or weight. The Artisan Goodtime banjos feature the Deering's new Midnight Maple™ fingerboard which is a maple fingerboard that has been pressure stained so that the stain penetrates all of the way through the wood. This will never wear off.

The Artisan Goodtime Special banjo also features the Goodtime Special tone ring which gives the banjo plenty of brightness and a richer tone.

Artisan Goodtime Special

Excellent customer service! Banjo is just what I ordered and sounds great after a little tuning out-of-the-box. I have already ordered other banjo accessories from Banjo Studio. They are my “go-to” vendor.

Good Tone for Money

Banjo studio did a nice job of answering my questions, and the banjo arrived quickly. I have a back problem, and this banjo is fairly light but still has a really nice tone with its steel tone ring and maple pot. It sounds mellower than I expected when I go to the low notes, which I like. You can still get those bluegrass high notes for sure, however. Solid Deering construction, and the inlays look nice, as well as the dark stain on the resonator and neck.

Davids service was excellent, the banjo arrived in A1 shape . The banjo is very well made and has excellent sound! I am very pleased with the purchase.

Incredibly clear tone, light weight

I started playing banjo last fall, and this was an upgrade from a $500 Ibanez resonator banjo. And what an upgrade it was! The sound quality and tonal clarity are like night and day. It's also not too heavy, like resonator banjos often are. Banjo Studio was great in their customer service, too!
