Deering Goodtime 2 5-String Banjo

Came from factory already set up, quality product

I'm totally in love with this banjo. It's easy to play, has a beautiful bright tone, and really resonates. The neck is thin compared to my old antique Gretch banjo, and is easy to fret. The only improvement I would have liked, would be, railroad spikes for the fifth string. All in all, this is an amazing instrument, which I'm surprised they classified as entry level. A plus, it's made in the USA.

I've been playing banjo for about two years and I had a really heavy banjo that I picked up used. Has a nice sound but, dang she was heavy. I've been wanting a Deering for quite some time and finally just said, I ain't gonna take this money to the grave, but I sure might have this Deering banjo buried with me! I really like it and I'm sounding better, crisper. I can't put it down. Wife gettin a little tired of it though.

Wonderful banjo! It has excellent intonation and a bright sustain, despite the. lack of a metal tone ring. I got it on a Cyber Monday deal, but I would have bought it at the usual price.

This banjo is beautiful! I was excited to get it but I was more excited when I had first saw it. I was unsure of the blonde maple but it has grown on me. I bought it used so I may not have received the things that comes in a new box. The only problem I have was that the banjo was not placed in it's protective covering. They shipped it, just not covering the banjo. Makes no sense. I would recommend this product to anyone. The price is a bit steep so buy used! Most importantly is that it's made in the good ol' USA. Deering makes a good product!
