Americana 5-String Banjo by Deering

Upholding the Goodtime tradition of providing top-value American-made banjos, the Americana is currently the most affordable 12' model, maintaining the signature natural blonde Goodtime look. Like other Goodtime models, it features guitar-style tuners, a rock maple neck, nickel-plated hardware, and hardwood inlays. When played using old-time techniques, the Americana evokes larger-rimmed banjos from the past, making it ideal for old-time music. Unlike the brighter, sharper sound of traditional 11' banjos, the Americana's wider 12' rim and renaissance head produce a relaxed, mellow tone, perfect for supporting vocals or other instruments rather than taking the lead. Embrace the wide side with the Goodtime Americana banjo.

• NEW GRAND 12" RIMFULL, FAT TONE: The new wider Grand 12" rim found on the Goodtime Americana emphasizes the bass response and gives the banjo an unmistakeble tone.
• RENAISANCE HEAD - WARM TONE: The renaissance head complements the Grand 12" rim on the Goodtime Americana to further enhance this banjo's sweet, warm tone.
