{"product_id":"deering-goodtime-americana-banjo-1","title":"Deering Goodtime Americana Banjo","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-block\"\u003eThe Americana is the first 5-string banjo from Deering to be fitted with their new Grand 12” rim, which gives the banjo a stronger bass response and a much warmer tone. The fullness and warmth of the larger rim is further enhanced by the addition of a 12” Renaissance head which beautifully complements the banjo both visually and sonically. Made in America.\u2028\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-block\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eContinuing the long standing Goodtime philosophy of offering the best value American made banjos available, the Americana is the lowest priced 12” model on the market today and retains the distinctive natural blonde Goodtime aesthetics. In keeping with the rest of the Goodtime line, this banjo also features guitar style tuners, a rock maple neck, nickel plated hardware, and hardwood inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePlayed with an old time style technique, the 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTake a walk on the wide side with the new Goodtime Americana™ banjo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number: 092426-6\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: 4.6 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h1 appear-delay-1\"\u003eNECK\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte appear-delay-2\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRock Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eComfortable \"D\" Shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNatural Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSatin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLexan Polycarbonate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSealed Geared Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5th String Tuner:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eGoodtime Geared 5th String Tuner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e22 Pressed In Nickel Silver Frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h1 appear-delay-1\"\u003ePOT\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte appear-delay-2\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3-Ply Violin Grade Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone Ring:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e12\" Renaissance Medium Crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTension Hoop:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBeveled Steel Tension Hoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHooks \u0026amp;
