America's first instrument is alive and well.A customer recently contacted me, telling me that he's been wanting to play banjo for a while. He has a friend who plays, so he'd been asking questions, such as "How do I start"? and "What kind of banjo should I get"? His friend told him simply, "Just get a Goodtime. You can't go wrong"... That was a great answer to a common question. It could even make a great slogan. It's definitely true!Confidence in the Deering reputationAll Deering banjos are still made in America. Through the decades they have definitely earned the title of America’s biggest banjo maker through a commitment to quality and new ideas- a point never demonstrated better than with their popular, and simple- Goodtime banjos. Aside from being really fun to play, Top quality in a reasonably priced banjo was the primary objective for making the Goodtime banjo. It’s made right here in America at the Deering Banjo factory in Southern California. The Goodtime II is simply the resonator version Goodtime that weighs less than many bluegrass banjos, yet delivers incredible tone.Smart designmeans more value for you. This banjo does not have fancy and expensive mother of pearl inlays, instead the value is in the construction and playability. Goodtime banjos have a very balanced feel in the hand, a feel that tells you instantly that it's well made. What your hands feel is glass smooth contours, Deering's own hardware, and the highest grade wood. Their American Maple is machined with extreme precision for a banjo that's lightweight and strong. The integrated fretboard is simple in design, and works incredibly well. The Goodtime 2 is a great choice for traveling- Take it with you in the car or truck on camping trips, snow vacations, just about anywhere. It is lightweight enough for a child to play. The silky smooth satin finish allows your hands to glide over the wood with ease. Greg and Janet Deering's many years of banjo building has resulted in a great sounding banjo. This is the banjo that many people learn to play on, yet it's so well made you may keep it for life. In fact, Goodtime banjos have even been used in commercial recordings by professional musicians. It's that good!Should you decide you'd like to upgrade to another Deering model later on, Deering's trade-up program can’t be beat, the #YESBANJO trade up program. See the Deering website for more information.This program makes it easy to get a substantial value credit on your Goodtime toward any new Deering banjo! The Goodtime 2 has additional features like Silver frets pressed into the integral maple fretboard, tasteful wooden inlay fretboard markers and high quality geared tuners. In our opinion, this very smart approach to building a great banjo.The Goodtime openback banjo is the foundation the entire Goodtime banjo family has been built on.
