The 12" rimmed Goodtime Americana open-back banjo from Deering is inspired by the American Art Deco design movement of the 1920s, through its distinct hardwood inlay design and peghead engraving. The hardware is finished in a beautiful and durable U.S. Bronze powder finish, which is not only hypoallergenic, but also won’t tarnish either. The Goodtime Americana open-back banjo features a comfortable armrest and, with its 12" rim and renaissance head, this warm banjo produces more bass response and is perfect for old time banjo playing or backing up a singer’s voice.
