The Artisan version of the Goodtime Americana boasts a rich brown stain, planetary banjo tuners, 5th string capo spikes at frets 7, 9, and 10, and a Midnight Maple fingerboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have more Custom versions of the Artisan series including 17-fret, 19-fret, Openback with a scoop, and the Goodtime two.
