About this product
Product Information
With a aluegrass resonator back, the classic Goodtime 2 banjo has a 3-ply violin grade maple rim and produces a bright and clear tone. The classic 2 is enhanced with a Rich Brown stain, white detailing and spikes at 7, 9, and 10. The spikes enable you to expand your playing from the key of G and play in the keys of A, B and C by putting the fifth string under the spike and using a capo on the other four strings to adjust the tuning. Here is a banjo you can have right there by your easy chair and play between commercials. It's a good bluegrass banjo, lighter weight and easy to carry. It's great for hours of practice with an accurate neck that is as comfortable as can be. You'll appreciate how light it is when you reach over to pick it up and enjoy playing it. Most people who get a Goodtime banjo keep it because they love it even when they step up to their beautiful Deering banjo.Product Identifiers

Great banjo with a ton of extras for less than I could find it anywhere else
Ordered from this store to the US, shipping took about a week. The service done by the luthiers at 12fret, adjusting height of each string and adding capo spikes is very helpful and well done. When I got it, it was well packed in great condition and the bridge was even still perfectly placed. I read a lot of reviews recommending the Deering Goodtime 2 and how great it sounds for the price and this deal right here was the cheapest I could find a new one and it came with all of these great bonuses. The tuner fits really nicely on the neck and seem even more accurate than my Snark clip on chromatic. The bag is really sturdy, well padded, and has nice backpack straps as well as the the carrying handle. This is my first banjo so I don't have much to compare it to, but everyone I've showed thinks it's a a beautiful instrument with a beautiful sound. The action on the strings is set so comfortably that, having never seriously played a steel string instrument, I was able to practice for hours the first day I got it without my tender, uncalloused hands causing any real discomfort. Oh and the steve martin cd and book are really funny and are a good for a beginner or intermediate banjo player who like pretty musicVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Beginners Banjo Deering II
Since I received it I found it hard putting it down. Once tuned it sounds great and seems to stay in tune for awhile. I bought it used and I haven't changed the strings yet but it sounds great for now and just wonder how better it will sound with new strings. If your a beginner like me I suggest spending a little more and buying the Deering II it's a better investment. I had bought a cheaper Banjo and then bought this one. It is a pleasure to play. And Made in America instead of an Import.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Banjo
Deering Banjos are fun and sturdy. I recommend them for anyone looking for a great banjo made in the USA. They are a bit pricey compared to other brands, but I don’t mind paying the premium for quality craftsmanship.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

My New Goodtime Banjo 2
I got my Banjo fairly quickly. It plays very well. The string set up is off a little and I will have to go to a Luthier to get it re aligned, but no big deal. Great price. Would recommend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Really Nice List-Topping Banjo
Really nice sound and feel. Came out-of-the-box ready, just tuned and played. Can see why Deering is a solid name in the industry and the Goodtime 2 tops the recommended buy lists.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Well built, great sound and action.
I ran across one of these at the local Guitar Center and was surprised at how well it played and was built. I decided to take a chance and buy a new one and am not disappointed. It is well built, has great sound and action. I would recommend this banjo to anyone who wants to learn and wants a decent price banjo.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
