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. We are honored to be able to offer this vintage inspired Goodtime to our customers moving forward. If you are looking for a livelier Bluegrass instrument, this Goodtime Artisan Special will get you the tone want for an affordable price. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Deering Artisan Goodtime Special banjo is a great all around 5 string banjo without too much cost or weight.
