On offer is a new Deering Golden Era Bluegrass 5-string banjo.  With the Deering deluxe hardshell case.  Comes with the full Deering Lifetime warranty.   This is a new banjo, built in September of 2013;  never displayed and in original Deering case.This banjo is what is commonly referred to as New-Old-Stock.   It has been in storage and never sold.  With over 200 banjos in stock I have simply overlooked this banjo as I put more out on display.  Since banjos have no "best before date" I don't make any special effort to sell older serial number models.So we are selling this specific banjo at 2013/2014 prices: one only,  serial 09126413T410  ( see the photo of the warranty card )
Free shipping within Canada and USA ( lower 48 states )  
Full setup is included: Nut height, head tension set at G#, capo tacks installed at 7, 9 and 10th fret, action adjusted to 5/64 and complete check-over.
You get this banjo in fully playable condition – not just out of the box.  As with all of our banjos, it is thoroughly set up to professional standards.  
If you have particular setup needs,  I invite you to correspond directly with me by email and I will make whatever changes are needed to suit your right hand attack and action requirements.
If you are within driving distance,  there is no-charge for follow-up setup and service on any new or used banjo for a full year.

The Deering Golden Era banjo construction notes: Neck and resonator is AAA flame- Rock maple and finished with gloss lacquer.   The Deering neck is carved to the standard Deering slim C profile neck.
The Deering pot features the Deering pre-war style Mastertone type flange, Deering tension hoop and tailpiece with Deering's unique "Aught Six" or '06 cast bronze tone ring fitted to a red maple rim.The unique combination of tonering-flange-rim fitted to Deering's shallow resonator gives that classic Deering sustain, upper fret clearity and power and tightly controlled and balanced bass.The Golden Era is a "workhorse banjo" played by professionals world wide.   Built in the spirit of the best of the pre-war era Mastertones and fitted with the appropriate flange and deeper resonator,  The Golden Era gives you that classic harder attack and faster decay typical of the pre-war sound.   Often called the Mastertone "cluck" ...this tone is associated with the old time Bluegrass banjo-voice of Scruggs and his contemporaries.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
