This makes it easy to quickly plug into your favorite amp, pedals or PA system and eliminates feedback.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the Goodtime banjo was first released in 1996, it revolutionized the banjo world cementing its place as a lightweight, affordable, great-sounding American-made banjo, heralded for its affordability and great value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, the Deering Goodtime banjo is as popular as ever, continuing to be the choice among musicians of all skill levels, thanks to its excellent craftsmanship, superior sound quality, and affordable price point. It is also the most recommended banjo for beginners!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCentral to the success of the Goodtime banjo is the construction which utilizes high-quality materials and components, including a three-ply violin-grade maple rim, and an exceptionally stable and slender hard rock maple neck, ensuring that it delivers a rich, full sound with excellent clarity and projection. The Goodtime tailpiece is our own design, the tension hoop is rolled in-house from raw metal. We took time to source the best possible tuners to compliment the Goodtime affordability and topped it off with the best banjo strings on the market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis emphasis on quality also makes the Goodtime banjo incredibly easy to play, thanks to its slim neck profile, low string action, and smooth fretwork. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, you'll appreciate the Goodtime banjo's comfortable feel and excellent playability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll Goodtime banjos are made by skilled craftsmen in our only facility, located in San Diego, CA. And at only 4 pounds, the weight makes it ideal for both children and adults to play and travel with conveniently.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven when you eventually step up to an upperline model, we are certain that your trusty Goodtime will remain a go-to banjo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rock Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comfortable \"D\" Shape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStain:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lexan Polycarbonate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sealed Geared Tuners\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5th String Tuner: \u003c\/strong\u003eGoodtime Geared 5th String Tuner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 Pressed In Nickel Silver Frets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardwood Art Deco Inspired Inlays\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-Ply Violin Grade Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRim Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone Ring:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHead:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\" Top Frosted High Crown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTension Hoop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beveled Steel Tension Hoop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHooks \u0026amp; Nuts:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 Flat J-Hooks and 9\/32\" Hex Nuts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArmrest:\u003c\/strong\u003e US Bronze Powder Finished Goodtime Armrest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Plating: \u003c\/strong\u003eUS Bronze Powder Finish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge: \u003c\/strong\u003e5\/8\" Goodtime Smile Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deering Patented Goodtime Tailpiece\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand Rubbed Polyurethane with Carnuba Wax Finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Width at the Nut: \u003c\/strong\u003e1 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length Nut to Bridge: \u003c\/strong\u003e26 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRim Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Instrument Length: \u003c\/strong\u003e37 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Approx.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42889171599408,"sku":"210000091668","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/0200\/7600\/files\/GAE-front-2.jpg?v=1775165226","url":"https:\/\/parkwaymusic.com\/products\/deering-goodtime-acoustic-electric-5-string-banjo","provider":"Parkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
