Deering Goodtime 2 Deco 5 String Banjo
Introducing a new variation on Deering's most popular resonator banjo, the look of the Goodtime Two Deco banjo is inspired by the American Art Deco design movement of the 1920s, featuring a distinct new inlay design and peghead engraving. The hardware is finished in a beautiful and durable US Bronze powder finish, which is not only hypoallergenic, it won’t tarnish! Featuring a resonator to project the sound out to your audience, this banjo will be louder and brighter than its sister the Goodtime openback. It still weighs in at less than 6 lbs so it is easy to travel with you anywhere and with its projection you will stand out at your next jam! A great option if you need a little more volume.

Description
Three years after the Goodtime banjo revolutionized the banjo world, it was only natural that customers began asking Deering to make one with a resonator. They wanted a banjo that was as fantastic to play as the Goodtime, but that could compete in volume and projection in a jam setting, if there is one thing Deering does well, it is to listen to the customer! So in 1999, the Goodtime Two banjo was born!
The Goodtime Two is similar to the Goodtime Openback, featuring a natural blonde maple vibe with a satin finish to protect it. The heart of the Goodtime Two is the same 3-ply violin-grade maple rim, which when paired with the 3-ply resonator, produces a rich, golden tone and offers a significant increase in volume from its openback counterpart.
This is because any sound from the back is now not being absorbed by your body. Instead, the hard, concave surface of the resonator is providing a surface for the sound to bounce off and forward, projecting through the soundholes of the nickel-plated flange that surrounds the rim.
Additionally, the Goodtime Two weighs in at around 6 lbs - about the weight of a guitar. So, if you want a great low-priced bluegrass banjo for travel and leisure that plays correctly and is durable, you should try the Goodtime Two.
As with all Goodtime models, the Goodtime Two is built in Deerings only location, San Diego, CA, with a huge emphasis on playability, tone, and affordability.
