GOODTIME-A2

Deering Artisan Goodtime Two 5-String Banjo

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

The Deering Artisan Goodtime Two 5-String Banjo combines classic bluegrass tone with modern craftsmanship and striking aesthetics. Built in the USA, it features a resonator back for powerful projection, a 3-ply violin-grade maple rim, and a Midnight Maple fingerboard adorned with vintage-inspired inlays. The result is a bright, punchy tone that cuts through in jam sessions or on stage, offering more volume than its open-back counterpart while maintaining lightweight comfort.

Finished in a rich brown stain with white detailing and equipped with spikes at the 7th, 9th, and 10th frets, the Artisan Goodtime Two makes it easy to switch between keys like G, A, B, and C. Its comfortable neck and responsive playability make it ideal for extended practice sessions or live performance. Designed with Greg Deering’s vision in mind, this model stands as a true testament to quality, tone, and exceptional value in American-made banjos.

Key Features:

  • Resonator-backed design for increased projection and volume

  • 3-ply violin-grade maple rim with bright, articulate tone

  • Midnight Maple fingerboard with Artisan-inspired inlays

  • Spikes installed at frets 7, 9, and 10 for quick key changes

  • Lightweight, comfortable design made in the U.S.A.
