Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built as a five-string, open-back banjo, the Artisan Goodtime combines a lightweight maple build with a violin-grade maple rim. Its dark brown finish and planetary tuning pegs give it a defined visual and tuning setup, while spikes at the 7th, 9th, and 10th frets support alternate tunings. The neck is described as comfortable to play and accurate to fret, making it practical for extended practice at home or taking along when travelling.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Keeping a lightweight five-string banjo nearby for extended home-practice sessions.
- Using alternate tunings with the installed spikes at the 7th, 9th, and 10th frets.
- Travelling with a lightweight maple open-back banjo.
