The Goodtime Blackgrass is the ultimate banjo for players looking for something a little on the darker side. The pure black stain of the all maple wood is accented with matte black hardware and a black head which combine to put a dark twist on an otherwise traditional instrument. 

The difference between the Blackgrass Special and the standard Blackgrass is the Blackgrass Special features a Goodtime Special tone ring which gives the banjo a brighter and richer tone.  This is essentially the same banjo as the Goodtime Artisan Special banjo but with a black stain, black head, and black powder coated hardware.
