Deering Goodtime G6S 6 String Openback Banjo

The Deering Goodtime G6S 6-String Openback gives guitarists an entirely new sonic palette without asking them to learn a new instrument. Tuned like a standard guitar, this American-made six-string banjo pairs Deering's banjo craftsmanship with a fast, familiar neck, making it easy for guitarists to bring bright, punchy banjo tones into their playing without a new tuning system to learn.

A lightweight openback design and an 11" 3-ply violin-grade maple rim deliver crisp articulation and that unmistakable banjo snap, while the frosted top head and Goodtime Smile bridge add to a traditional, lively tone. A slender rock maple neck with a guitar-style 1-11/16" nut, 15" radius and 26-1/4" scale offers instant playability for anyone coming straight off six-string guitar, making it ideal for recording, gigging or jamming at home.
