The fullness and warmth of the larger rim is further enhanced by the addition of a 12” renaissance head which beautifully complements the banjo both visually and sonically. Made in America.\u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-section-template--19560201289941__sub\" class=\"shopify-section product-full-width\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-width page-width--narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinuing the long standing Goodtime philosophy of offering the best value American made banjos available, the Americana is the lowest priced 12” model on the market today and retains the distinctive natural blonde Goodtime aesthetics. In keeping with the rest of the Goodtime line, this banjo also features guitar style tuners, a rock maple neck, nickel plated hardware, and hardwood inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlayed with an old time style technique, the Americana is reminiscent of banjos from a period when larger rims were more prevalent which makes the 12” a great setup for playing old time music. A traditional 11” banjo with a frosted top head has a far brighter sound and will “cut” more. Since the combination of the wider 12” rim and the renaissance head makes for a wonderfully laid back sound in comparison, the Americana lends itself perfectly for musicians looking to use the banjo to back up a vocalist or another instrument, instead of playing the a lead instrument role.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan id=\"docs-internal-guid-aabd4690-b79a-deef-0236-13939830510e\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTake a walk on the wide side with the Goodtime Americana banjo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\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 Natural Maple\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\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\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 12\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone Ring:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHead:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\" Renaissance Medium 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 with 9\/32″ Nuts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArmrest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\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 12\"\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\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Deering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42752563347504,"sku":"210000090438","price":749.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/0200\/7600\/files\/Goodtime-Americana-2025-front.jpg?v=1771612825","url":"https:\/\/parkwaymusic.com\/products\/deering-goodtime-americana-1","provider":"Parkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
