Deering Goodtime-GD Openback Deco 5-String Banjo
The Deering Goodtime Deco is a fresh variation on Deering’s most popular banjo, blending the famously easy playability and bright, punchy Goodtime tone with a stylish nod to American Art Deco design of the 1920s. It features a distinctive new inlay design and peghead engraving, plus hardware finished in a beautiful and durable US Bronze powder finish that’s hypoallergenic and won’t tarnish.
It also includes a comfortable armrest, and like all Goodtime models, it stays lightweight and portable—perfect for players who want a dependable banjo that’s easy to take anywhere, with a look that stands out on stage.
