Responding to customer requests for a resonator-equipped version of the beloved Goodtime, Deering introduced the Goodtime Two in 1999. Built with the same attention to quality and tone, this model features a 3-ply violin-grade maple rim paired with a 3-ply resonator, providing a rich, golden tone with significantly increased projection. The resonator’s hard, concave surface allows sound to bounce forward through the soundholes of the nickel-plated flange, making it ideal for bluegrass and ensemble playing. Weighing approximately 6 pounds—similar to a guitar—the Goodtime Two is lightweight enough for travel while offering the durability and tone players expect from Deering (case not included). Available at Haggerty's Music, this banjo is crafted at Deering’s San Diego facility, ensuring top-notch craftsmanship and exceptional performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\/Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-ply violin-grade maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\" top frosted high crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTone Ring:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTension Hoop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beveled steel tension hoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHooks \u0026amp;

The fullness and warmth of the larger rim is further enhanced by the addition of a 12” renaissance head which beautifully complements the banjo both visually and sonically. Made in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinuing the long standing Goodtime philosophy of offering the best value American made banjos available, the Americana is the lowest priced 12” model on the market today and retains the distinctive natural blonde Goodtime aesthetics. In keeping with the rest of the Goodtime line, this banjo also features guitar style tuners, a rock maple neck, nickel plated hardware, and hardwood inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlayed with an old time style technique, the Americana is reminiscent of banjos from a period when larger rims were more prevalent which makes the 12” a great setup for playing old time music. A traditional 11” banjo with a frosted top head has a far brighter sound and will “cut” more. Since the combination of the wider 12” rim and the renaissance head makes for a wonderfully laid back sound in comparison, the Americana lends itself perfectly for musicians looking to use the banjo to back up a vocalist or another instrument, instead of playing the a lead instrument role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake a walk on the wide side with the Goodtime Americana™ banjo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rock Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comfortable \"D\" Shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lexan Polycarbonate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sealed Geared Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5th String Tuner: \u003c\/strong\u003eGoodtime Geared 5th String Tuner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 Pressed In Nickel Silver Frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePOT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-Ply Violin Grade Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone Ring:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\" Renaissance Medium Crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTension Hoop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beveled Steel Tension Hoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHooks \u0026amp;

Rather than simply recreating designs of the past, Deering set out to build a professional-grade banjo that could deliver exceptional tone, durability, and performance while offering a fresh approach to construction. The result is the Boston: A uniquely American instrument that has earned a loyal following among bluegrass pickers, folk musicians, and banjo enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWhat makes the Boston truly special is its distinctive steel rim design. Instead of relying on a traditional separate tone ring and wooden rim assembly, Deering utilizes a precision-rolled 3\/16\" steel rim that functions as both rim and tone-producing element. This innovative design produces impressive volume, clarity, sustain, and projection while reducing complexity and cost. The result is a banjo with a powerful voice that cuts through a jam session yet remains balanced and articulate for solo performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eComplementing its unique construction is a beautiful Natural Blond Curly Maple neck adorned with Deering’s elegant Seed and Vine inlay pattern. The slender \"D\" neck profile feels comfortable and fast in the hand, while the ebony fingerboard, geared fifth-string tuner, quality hardware, and included hardshell case make this instrument ready for stage, studio, or home.

Available at Haggerty's Music, the Deering Artisan Goodtime Two was created to bring the unmistakable sound of an American-made resonator banjo to players seeking professional quality in a lightweight, approachable instrument. Handcrafted in Deering's California workshop, this banjo blends traditional bluegrass performance with elegant vintage-inspired styling, making it equally at home on stage, at a jam session, or by your favorite chair for an evening of practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBuilt around Deering's renowned three-ply violin-grade maple rim and resonator design, the Artisan Goodtime Two delivers the bright, clear projection that bluegrass players love while remaining noticeably lighter than many traditional resonator banjos.

Handcrafted in Deering's California workshop, this banjo blends traditional bluegrass performance with elegant vintage-inspired styling, making it equally at home on stage, at a jam session, or by your favorite chair for an evening of practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBuilt around Deering's renowned three-ply violin-grade maple rim and resonator design, the Artisan Goodtime Two delivers the bright, clear projection that bluegrass players love while remaining noticeably lighter than many traditional resonator banjos.

Developed in collaboration with Deering founder Greg Deering and banjo virtuoso Jens Kruger, the Eagle II features the patented Twenty-Ten Tone Ring: A revolutionary brass design that delivers a powerful, balanced voice with outstanding projection. This tone ring’s unique structure offers a broad dynamic range and an even response across bass, mids, and trebles, making it equally suited for bluegrass, clawhammer, folk, modern fingerstyle, or hybrid banjo playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBuilt for tonal versatility and stage-ready performance, the Eagle II boasts a quartersawn maple neck, a 3-ply violin-grade maple rim, and a high-gloss resonator in Deering’s custom Eagle Red stain. The A-grade ebony fingerboard features original engraved inlays, while planetary tuners and a Deering Smile bridge ensure smooth tuning and tonal consistency. Its durable nickel hardware, Deering True Tone Tailpiece, and hand-applied satin finish on the pot combine elegance with functionality. This is a banjo that responds equally to subtle nuance and aggressive picking; it's ready to meet the needs of players who demand clarity, warmth, and articulation in one powerful instrument. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this banjo ships with a hardshell case for convenient transport and reliable storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \/ Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eagle II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right-Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eagle Red \/ Natural Maple (Gloss \u0026amp;

Created in collaboration with the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and visual artist, the model reflects the expressive role the banjo plays in his work while retaining the craftsmanship associated with Deering's American-made resonator banjos. Most distinctive is Avett's own \"Truth\" artwork, translated into custom peghead and fingerboard inlays that give the instrument an identity unlike anything else in the Deering lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIts voice departs from the conventional metal-tone-ring bluegrass formula through Deering's Hartford grenadillo tone ring. The dense hardwood ring is intended to produce a warm, rich response while retaining the clarity and definition necessary for a resonator banjo to speak distinctly within an ensemble. That balance makes the Truth banjo especially intriguing for players whose music extends beyond traditional bluegrass: folk, Americana, roots music, singer-songwriter arrangements, melodic playing, and more atmospheric applications can all benefit from a banjo voice with warmth and depth as well as articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe walnut neck and walnut-finished resonator reinforce the instrument's earthy visual and tonal character. A slender D-shaped neck offers a comfortable foundation for both chordal and melodic playing, while an A-grade ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, durable playing surface beneath the custom Truth inlays. The satin finish keeps the presentation understated and organic, allowing the natural character of the wood and Avett's artwork to take center stage rather than relying on elaborate ornamentation for its identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThroughout the rest of the instrument, Deering pairs that artistic direction with a professional resonator-banjo foundation: a three-ply violin-grade maple rim, one-piece cast zinc flange, notched brass tension hoop, Deering Smile bridge, True Tone tailpiece, and planetary tuning machines.

Created in collaboration with the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and visual artist, the model reflects the expressive role the banjo plays in his work while retaining the craftsmanship associated with Deering's American-made resonator banjos. Most distinctive is Avett's own \"Truth\" artwork, translated into custom peghead and fingerboard inlays that give the instrument an identity unlike anything else in the Deering lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIts voice departs from the conventional metal-tone-ring bluegrass formula through Deering's Hartford grenadillo tone ring. The dense hardwood ring is intended to produce a warm, rich response while retaining the clarity and definition necessary for a resonator banjo to speak distinctly within an ensemble. That balance makes the Truth banjo especially intriguing for players whose music extends beyond traditional bluegrass: folk, Americana, roots music, singer-songwriter arrangements, melodic playing, and more atmospheric applications can all benefit from a banjo voice with warmth and depth as well as articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe walnut neck and walnut-finished resonator reinforce the instrument's earthy visual and tonal character. A slender D-shaped neck offers a comfortable foundation for both chordal and melodic playing, while an A-grade ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, durable playing surface beneath the custom Truth inlays. The satin finish keeps the presentation understated and organic, allowing the natural character of the wood and Avett's artwork to take center stage rather than relying on elaborate ornamentation for its identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThroughout the rest of the instrument, Deering pairs that artistic direction with a professional resonator-banjo foundation: a three-ply violin-grade maple rim, one-piece cast zinc flange, notched brass tension hoop, Deering Smile bridge, True Tone tailpiece, and planetary tuning machines.

Made by Deering in San Diego, California, it pairs an all-maple foundation with a deep black stain, black head, and matte black hardware for a look equally suited to bluegrass stages, alternative ensembles, and players bringing the banjo into less conventional musical territory. The Midnight Maple fingerboard and vintage Artisan-style pearloid inlays add another layer of visual personality while retaining the straightforward, player-focused spirit that has made the Goodtime family so approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eUnderneath its distinctive appearance is the same kind of construction that gives the Goodtime its musical identity. A rock maple neck joins a 3-ply violin-grade maple rim, creating a lively foundation for the banjo's attack, resonance, and note definition. The slender D neck shape keeps the playing experience comfortable, while 22 nickel-silver frets and Goodtime planetary tuners provide a familiar setup for both developing players and experienced pickers. Railroad spikes installed at the 7th, 9th, and 10th frets make it easier to accommodate common key changes when capoing, an especially practical touch for bluegrass, folk, Americana, and ensemble playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Blackgrass proves that a banjo can respect its roots while presenting them with an entirely different attitude. Its black high-crown head, matte black powder-coated hardware, black-stained resonator, and understated satin surfaces give the instrument a cohesive appearance that feels equally appropriate in the hands of a traditional picker, roots-rock musician, or punk player.
