At The Farm, we don’t rely on bland manufacturer stock photos - we physically photograph one of each model to show a better representation of the product. Some minor details like wood grain and color finish can, and may vary slightly from the pictures below.
Rest assured, just like on all of our serialized products each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff.
The Deering Goodtime Americana Banjo is a step up from the original Goodtime banjo. The biggest change is it has a 12" head rather than the standard 11", this allows for more resonance in the bass notes and gives it a more defined sound. The Americana is great for playing old time music, as the style is similar to that of banjos from back in that era. It is the perfect banjo for pairing with vocals and other band scenarios as it has a more laid-back tone, that will fit in the mix without overpowering your vocals.
Continuing 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.
Played 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 Grand 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.
Now, plug in, no matter where you find yourself, with the added piezo pickup and Deering's own feedback reducer, so you don't have to worry about there being any loud "oops" moments on stage.
