Deering Goodtime G-AE Openback 5-String with Kavanjo

The Deering Goodtime G-AE Openback 5-String Banjo with Kavanjo Pickup is a professional-quality acoustic-electric banjo designed for players who need both traditional tone and modern performance flexibility. Featuring a factory-installed Kavanjo head pickup system, it allows you to plug into an amp and perform at high volume without feedback while maintaining its natural acoustic character.

Crafted in the USA, it features a slender rock maple neck and a violin-grade 3-ply maple rim, delivering excellent clarity, note separation, and a warm, full-bodied tone. The openback design keeps the instrument lightweight and responsive, while quality components such as the frosted top head, maple/ebony bridge, and Deering tailpiece ensure consistent performance.

Easy to play and highly versatile, this banjo is ideal for stage, studio, and practice environments where amplification is required without compromising tone.
