The Goodtime Artisan Americana™ features a 12” rim, creating a stronger bass response and warmer tone. This fullness and warmth is further accentuated with the 12” Renaissance head, a combination that brings both sonic and visual harmony. The Artisan version of the Goodtime Americana boasts a rich brown stain, planetary banjo tuners, 5th string capo spikes at frets 7, 9, and 10, and a Midnight Maple fingerboard.

Americana
This banjo came set up with excellent intonation, action, and packing. It has been a joy to play!

Banjo review
Excellent service and responsiveness

Fun to Play
This banjo looks good, is responsive, has a nice sound, and is just plain fun to play. I added a damper under the Deering emblem to give it a little more clarity. Overall, hard to beat for the price, and it's made right here in the USA!
First Banjo
I have only had the banjo for a week so I am still learning how to learn to play. I want to make this a fun project so I am not putting pressure on myself, but taking a bit each day to practice the basic Clawhammer method. The Banjo itself is beautiful and arrived quickly and safely. The Banjo Studio was recommended to me by the Deering factory after a failed attempt thru a nationally known music instrument chain.
