Although not as ornately inlaid as more costly Deering models, the Maple Blossom was given all the best parts throughout, including a 3-ply maple shell, cast zinc flange and heavy cast bronze flathead tone ring. This banjo has all of its original parts except for the tailpiece which has been upgraded to a Fults tailpiece, which is far more sturdy and offers an almost unlimited range of adjustment. These tailpieces are not cheap and represent a significant upgrade.There's some light surface wear to the back of the resonator, but fret wear is minimal.

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.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003ePlayed 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 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 a lead instrument role.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eTake a walk on the wide side with the Goodtime Americana banjo.","brand":"Deering Banjo Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45380758241479,"sku":"DEEGAM25-0730257","price":749.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1716051.jpg?v=1788950585"},{"product_id":"vega-white-oak-12-5-string-banjo-new-23608","title":"Vega White Oak 12\" 5-String Banjo - New","description":"We've often wondered why more American guitar and banjo makers don't use white oak, as it's an abundant domestic hardwood that makes fine sounding instruments. This Vega White Oak, made by Deering, uses its namesake wood for the neck and shell of this banjo. Because oak is so dense and sturdy, the top of the rim has tapered top edge, which makes a metal tone ring unnecessary. This results in a round, woody tone plenty of pop and projection. The Vega White Oak is ideal for clawhammer and folk music and it weighs in in just under six pounds.

They wanted a banjo that was as fantastic to play as the Goodtime, but that could compete in volume and projection in a jam setting. And if there is one thing Deering does well, it is to listen to the customer! So in 1999, the Goodtime Two banjo was born!\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThe Goodtime Two is similar to the Goodtime Openback, featuring a natural blonde maple vibe with a satin finish to protect it. The heart of the Goodtime Two is the same 3-ply violin-grade maple rim, which when paired with the 3-ply resonator, produces a rich, golden tone and offers a significant increase in volume from its openback counterpart.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThis is because any sound from the back is now not being absorbed by your body. Instead, the hard, concave surface of the resonator is providing a surface for the sound to bounce off and forward, projecting through the soundholes of the nickel-plated flange that surrounds the rim.
