Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Deering’s Goodtime Special pairs a steel Goodtime tone ring with a resonator for a bright, crisp, loud banjo voice aimed at bluegrass. The visual details draw from 1920s American Art Deco, with matching inlay work and peghead engraving, while the US Bronze powder-finished hardware is hypoallergenic and made not to tarnish. A hard rock maple neck and fingerboard, 22 frets, high-ratio Goodtime tuning machines, maple/ebony bridge, and Quiet Metal Tailpiece make this a clearly specified resonator-banjo setup for players who want that focused bluegrass presentation.
Strong match
Who this is for
