Deering Goodtime 19-Fret Tenor Openback Banjo
Sold Out $ 629.00
If you are looking for a genuine 19-fret tenor banjo to get started in jazz or Irish music, then this is a great option for you!
Based on the best-selling Goodtime Openback banjo, the Goodtime Openback 19-Fret Tenor is tuned in 5ths like a viola or cello (C,G,D,A), and features a full 19-fret scale so commonly found in traditional jazz and Irish music.
It is a delight to play with its short-scale fretboard, slim neck and lightweight body and if desired, can be tuned for Irish G,D,A,E (requires Irish Tenor String Set). In both tunings, notes are clear and bold, with just the right amount of punch and sustain needed for tenor playing.
Central to the success of the Goodtime™ banjo is the construction which utilizes high-quality materials and components, including a three-ply violin-grade maple rim, and an exceptionally stable and slender hard rock maple neck, ensuring that it delivers a rich, full sound with excellent clarity and projection. The Goodtime™ tailpiece is our own design, the tension hoop is rolled in-house from raw metal. We took time to source the best possible tuners to compliment the Goodtime™ affordability and topped it off with the best banjo strings on the market.
Made in America at the Deering Banjo factory in California, the Goodtime™ Openback 19-Fret Tenor banjo weighs about 4 pounds so it is ideal for traveling, camping, hiking, taking to the beach and provides a vibrant singing banjo tone in any situation.

Deering Goodtime Artisan Americana Banjo
Sold Out $ 1,029.00
-
Weight: 4.6 lbs
- Serial Number: 031924-01
Played with an old time style technique, the Goodtime Artisan Americana is reminiscent of banjos from a period when larger rims were more prevalent which makes the 12” a great setup for playing old time music. A traditional 11” banjo with a frosted top head has a far brighter sound and will “cut” more. Since the combination of the Grand 12” rim and the Renaissance head makes for a wonderfully laid back sound in comparison, the Americana lends itself perfectly for musicians looking to use the banjo to back up a vocalist or another instrument, instead of playing the a lead instrument role.

Deering Goodtime G6SR Six-R 6-String Banjo
Sold Out $ 1,149.00
The new Goodtime Six-R banjo comes hot on the heels of the very popular Goodtime Six open back banjo, but with a few additional features making the Goodtime Six-R ready for the big stage both in looks and in build.
Most notably, the Goodtime Six-R features a radiused midnight maple finger board, offering the player a striking contrast to the normal blonde of the hard rock maple neck.
Tonally, the Goodtime Six-R is elevated by the addition of a maple resonator behind it's 11” 3-ply violin grade maple rim. Like any banjo, the addition of a resonator not only creates a hollow sound chamber, but also provides a flat surface for the sound to bounce off and project forward towards the players audience, instead of being absorbed by their body. The result is a significantly fuller, clearer and more vibrant tone.
Strings come courtesy of Elixir's XL bronze set, while other features include 6 high quality guitar style tuners, 26 ¼” scale length, ovangkol block inlays, a Deering designed Goodtime 6 string tailpiece and frosted top head.
The Goodtime Six banjos were not designed to replace the guitar, but rather complement it. It affords guitarists the chance to play what they already know with unimaginably creative results.
