Deering's Goodtime Piezo banjo brings players the best of both worlds. It features premium, American-made components and tonewoods for authentic banjo sound, now with the added benefit of an onboard piezo pickup to amplify your playing. The Goodtime Piezo banjo has a maple rim and neck for a crisp, balanced tone. Its 11" frosted top banjo head produces a bright, ringing sound. For playability, it has a slender rock maple neck and geared tuners that make it easy to tune and keep in tune.

Premium Tonewoods Create Classic Banjo Sound

The Goodtime Piezo banjo's all-maple construction gives it a crisp, balanced tone that evokes tradition. Its 3-ply violin-grade maple rim and hard rock maple neck provide clarity and note separation. Combined with an 11" frosted top banjo head, it produces a bright, ringing banjo tone that players have trusted for generations.

Onboard Piezo Pickup Amplifies Your Playing

Thanks to the Goodtime Piezo banjo's built-in piezo pickup installed under the banjo head, your playing can now be amplified. Plug in and the pickup delivers your banjo's tone with stunning accuracy for playing at live shows, in the studio or at home. Now the classic banjo sound of the Goodtime series can be shared with more people in more places.

Fast, Comfortable Maple Neck

The Goodtime Piezo banjo's rock maple neck is ideal for playability. It has a slender, rounded profile that fits comfortably in the hand. 22 nickel/silver frets are evenly spaced along its 26-1/2" scale length. With a 1-1/4" nut width, the neck is sized for comfortable fretting. The satin finish provides smooth playability up and down the neck.

Keeps You in Tune and Sounding Great

Deering outfitted the Goodtime Piezo banjo with features to keep it performing at its best. Geared tuners make it easy to tune the strings accurately and securely. An adjustable truss rod allows you to tweak the neck relief for ideal string action. 16 bracket hooks and a steel coordinator rod enable precise head tensioning so notes ring out clearly. With quality craftsmanship and adjustable features built in, the Goodtime Piezo banjo guarantees great sound and playability.

Deering banjos with the lifetime warranty are only available through authorized Deering Dealers.

IF YOU BUY A "NEW" DEERING BANJO FROM A NON-AUTHORIZED DEALER, YOU HAVE PURCHASED A USED BANJO AND HAVE NO WARRANTY. When we send a Deering banjo to an authorized dealer, only that dealer or another authorized dealer can sell that banjo as new. If an authorized dealer sells a new Deering banjo to a non-authorized dealer, the non authorized dealer becomes the first owner and he becomes the bearer of the lifetime warranty; not a new dealer by transfer. When the unauthorized dealer sells that banjo to the consumer, even if it was never played or even touched, it is a used instrument and no longer carries the lifetime warranty. This is necessary so that we know how the banjo has been cared for between the time we ship it and the time that our customers buy it. We have no way of knowing how non-authorized dealers care for their instruments because we do not communicate with them. This also honors and protects the strong relationship between Deering and its treasured network of hard working Deering dealers. For your protection against theft and to ensure immediate proof of ownership, four digits of the serial number are visible on the back of the peghead on each banjo. The full serial number is inside the resonator. When you purchase a Deering banjo and send in the warranty card you will receive a Gold Credit card style ownership/warranty card. This gold card is embossed with your name and the serial number of your new banjo for easy identification. Take your Gold Card with you to festivals or when traveling so that if your banjo is ever stolen you can easily prove it's yours.
