This is a like new Deering Artisan Goodtime Openback 5 string banjo. It utilizes a new style fingerboard which is called "Midnight Maple" and has the finish actually impregnating the fingerboard so that it will never wear off from use. The rim is an 11 inch, 3 ply violin grade maple with 16 brackets to hold banjo head easily. Head itself is a top frosted Deering 11 inch, high crown head. The coordinator rod is a single rod for ease of neck adjustment. All tuners are planetary style giving smooth and stable tuning. The fifth string tuner is geared, again for tuning ease. Inlay work on the fingerboard is what is usually found on banjos costing 4 times this amount and the peghead is inlaid with the word "Artisan." Additionally, the neck has fifth string capo spikes at the 5th, 7th, 9th and 10th frets. There is a set of new Gibson light gauge banjo strings on the banjo.I purchased this banjo with the intent of learning old time banjo styles as I already have a bluegrass type resonator banjo for three finger picking. I just haven't had the time to really devote to this as I also play guitar and only have so many hours in a day to play. Since it is just sitting here I decided to sell it. Originally $729, I will sell for $575 plus actual shipping charges. NEW LOWER PRICE $525.00 Will only ship to continental USA.Ships in Deerings original carton.
