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. The result is a signature model whose defining features serve the same purpose as Avett's music and artwork, combining traditional materials and forms with a distinctly personal point of view. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this banjo ships with a sturdy hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \/ Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p7\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-String Resonator Banjo\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\u003eTone Ring\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hartford Grenadillo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlays\u003c\/strong\u003e: Scott Avett-Designed \"Truth\" Inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p7\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Quartersawn Walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slender D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Depth: \u003c\/strong\u003e0.828\" at 1st Fret, 0.862\" at 12th Fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Stain\u003c\/strong\u003e: Walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: A-Grade Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Inlays\u003c\/strong\u003e: Custom Scott Avett-Designed \"Truth\" Inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Frets\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFret Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nickel Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFret Installation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Glued-In\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5th String Spikes\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p7\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePot Assembly\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\u003eTone Ring\u003c\/strong\u003e: Deering Hartford Grenadillo Tone Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\" Top-Frosted, Medium Crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTension Hoop\u003c\/strong\u003e: Notched Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHooks \u0026amp;
