Experience the warm, soulful sound of the Deering Goodtime 5-String Openback Banjo, specially customized for the modern clawhammer player. This unique model features a scooped neck and a Fiberskin head, a combination carefully chosen to provide effortless access for frailing while producing a rich, "woodier" tone that resonates with tradition.

Handcrafted with pride in Spring Valley, California, every Goodtime banjo is built to Deering’s exacting standards. The heart of this instrument is its 3-ply violin-grade maple rim, which delivers the crisp, clear projection Deering is famous for. Whether you are just starting your musical journey or looking for a reliable, professional-grade openback, this banjo arrives with a spot-on setup and is ready to play right out of the box!

  • Custom Frailing Scoop: Allows you to play comfortably over the neck for that classic, mellow old-time sound.

  • Warm Tonal Profile: The Fiberskin head adds a beautiful depth and vintage character to your playing.

  • No Knot Tailpiece
