Custom Deering Artisan Goodtime 17-Fret Tenor Banjo with Fiberskin Head and Bronze Hardware

Banjo Studio is proud to be a Preferred Online Deering Dealer. 

This is an exclusive model found only here at Banjo Studio.

On a recent trip to Deering Banjos, we were in the showroom looking at all the Goodtime Banjos.  We loved the look of the bronze hardware on their baseline Goodtime.  Right next to it was an Artisan Goodtime Americana with the Nickel hardware.  We inquired on the option of swapping out the hardware to give it more a vintage look.  Something that we seen players gravitate towards.  Our rep, David Vega, suggested we also add in the Fiberskin head and that tied it all together.  We are honored to be able to offer this to our customers moving forward.  If you are looking for a warmer, deeper tone on a nice banjo, this is your option.  If you are looking for a brighter tone, we also offer the standard model with the frosted top head.  Either way, we have what you are looking for.  If not, please contact us and we can point you into the right direction.

Meet your new musical companion—the Custom Deering Artisan Goodtime 17-Fret Tenor Banjo, proudly made in America. This stunner combines striking good looks with serious playability. The violin-grade maple rim (yes, the same wood Deering uses for their pro models) sings with a warm, resonant tone that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Planetary tuners keep everything locked in tight, while the Midnight Maple fingerboard adds sophisticated flair to that gorgeous brown finish. Nimble enough to grab and go, yet substantial enough to inspire hours of joyful practice, this banjo feels right at home whether you're nestled in your favorite chair or hitting the road. Comfortable neck, accurate frets, and a sound that just keeps giving—what's not to love?
