By Sweetwater Product Testing Team: Deering’s Goodtime banjos are the embodiment of US-made value, performance, and aesthetic. In the classic Goodtime tradition, this Goodtime Two 5-string banjo sports a 3-ply violin-grade maple rim, hard-rock maple neck, and a 3-ply poplar/maple resonator — truly premium-grade tonewoods that, when combined with the tone ring-free design, supply a bright, focused, and treble-tinged response that Sweetwater's banjo enthusiasts find suits bluegrass environments well. Top-notch hardware adorns the Goodtime Two 5-string banjo from head to toe, including Deering’s rock-solid Goodtime Tailpiece, a beveled steel tension hoop, 16 flat J-hooks, and a stable set of sealed gear guitar-style tuners. Finally, an astonishing set of hardwood inlays and bronze powder-finished hardware seals the deal, confirming the Goodtime series’ traditional yet elegant rustic charm.
