The American-made Goodtime banjo is the only low-priced banjo made in America that was made to be played. Designed for easy playing and sparkling, vibrant tone, it’s the choice of top professionals, travelling musicians and anyone who wants a quality banjo that won’t break the bank. The ‘better than the price tone’ from this banjo, found in competitive banjos costing 5 times the price, comes from: the three-ply maple rim, the 1/8 inch thick steel tone ring, maple resonator and the maple neck. The steel tone ring creates a powerful, bright sound but with strong bass for a full banjo tone. The four-string maple neck gives the banjo the bright, clear tone amateurs and professionals demand. This is the top of the Goodtime plectrum line and one extremely playable banjo!

Made in the USA, at the Deering shop with the same tooling used to make the top of the line banjos. Greg Deering designed the Goodtime banjos because there were no low priced banjos of enough quality for people to actually learn on without difficulty or giving up. He remembers what it was like to want a good banjo and not be able to afford one, so his gift to others is the Goodtime banjo line. Designed for success, the Goodtime banjos are the lowest priced American made banjos.
