The Korena take

The Goodtime Open-Back combines an open-back banjo format with 22 frets, a 26.25-inch scale length, and a satin-finished Comfortable D neck. A comfortable armrest is part of the design, and the banjo is described as light enough to bring along. Its Art Deco-inspired look centers on hardwood Deco inlays and an engraved peghead. U.S. bronze powder-finished hardware is hypoallergenic and specified not to tarnish.
