Deering Goodtime Americana 5-String Openback Banjo
The Goodtime Americana Openback is the most affordable 5-string banjo from Deering to be fitted with their 12” rim. This rim size results in the banjo having a stronger bass response and a much warmer tone. The fullness and warmth of the larger rim is further enhanced by the addition of a 12” renaissance head. This head beautifully complements the banjo both visually and sonically.
This range continues 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. Of course, this 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 wider 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 lead instrument role.
