Deering Goodtime G2 5-String Resonator Banjo

Made in America. A resonator back provides more projection of sound in the Goodtime Two. We make it here in the USA, at the Deering shop with the same tooling we use 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. They are so good many professionals have recorded with Goodtime banjos.

The Goodtime Two weighs 6lbs - similar to the weight of a guitar. It features a natural blonde maple with a satin finish to protect it. The rich, golden tone and the resonator's reverberation sound wonderful. There is a notable volume difference between open-back banjos and the Goodtime Two. Sound waves are not stuck between the banjo and you, making a significant difference. If you want a great low-priced bluegrass banjo for travel and leisure that is durable and plays correctly, this is the best buy on the market!
