Deering Goodtime 2 LEFT HANDED 5-String Maple Resonator Bluegrass Banjo Combo

The Goodtime Two boasts a resonator back that provides enhanced sound projection. Manufactured in California at the Deering workshop, this banjo utilizes the same tooling employed to create the top-of-the-line Deering banjos. Consequently, many professional musicians have opted to record with Goodtime banjos, attesting to their exceptional quality.

Weighing approximately 6 lbs, akin to the weight of a guitar, the Goodtime Two features a natural blonde maple construction with a satin finish for protection. This design delivers a rich, golden tone complemented by the reverberation emanating from the resonator. The open-back design of the Goodtime Two creates a noticeable volume difference compared to closed-back models, as the sound waves are not trapped between the player and the instrument, resulting in a more pronounced and dynamic tone.

For those seeking a versatile and durable bluegrass banjo suitable for travel and leisure activities, the Goodtime Two is an excellent choice. This left-handed model boasts a premium rock maple neck, a 3-ply violin-grade maple rim, and a comfortable "D" shape neck with 22 pressed-in nickel silver frets and a 1 1/4" nut width.

The resonator is crafted from 3-ply poplar/poplar/maple, measuring 13 7/8" in diameter, and is equipped with the Deering-patented Goodtime tailpiece. The 11" high-crown frosted head, nickel plating, and satin finish contribute to the Goodtime Two's sleek and durable appearance.

For added convenience and security, the Goodtime Two comes with 16 flat J-hooks with 9/32" nuts and a beveled steel tension hoop. Additionally, it includes a hard case and a True Tune tuner, ensuring a complete and reliable package for the discerning musician.

Backed by a 6-year warranty, the Goodtime Two is a testament to Deering's commitment to crafting exceptional banjos that cater to the needs of both professional and amateur players alike. Whether you're looking to capture the rich, resonant tone of bluegrass or simply enjoy the versatility of a well-designed instrument, the Goodtime Two is a compelling choice that delivers on both performance and durability.
