{"product_id":"deering-goodtime-americana™-5-string-banjo","title":"Deering Goodtime Americana™ 5 String Banjo Made In USA GAM","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Americana™ is the first 5-string banjo from Deering to be fitted with their new Grand 12” rim, which gives the banjo 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 which beautifully complements the banjo both visually and sonically. Made in America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eContinuing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTake a walk on the wide side with the new Goodtime Americana™ banjo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"text-center\"\u003eBANJO SPECS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"one-half left spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNECK:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlonde Slender Rock Maple Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e22 Pressed In Nickel Silver Frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardwood Bow Tie Inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSealed Geared Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGeared 5th String Tuner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDurable Satin Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmericana Engraved In Peghead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeering Fiddle Shaped Peghead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"one-half left spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePOT:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlonde 3-ply Violin Grade Maple Rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSteel Tension Hoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12″ Renaissance Medium Crown Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5\/8″ Maple\/Ebony Goodtime Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16 Flat Hooks with 9\/32″ Nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16 Bracket Shoes with Screw Attachments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeering Patented Goodtime Tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNickel Plated Goodtime Armrest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSteel Coordinator Rod for Adjustments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDurable Satin Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOpenback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"one-half left spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTONE:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEasy to play with clarity of note separation and round full bodied tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTUNED:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eg,D,G,B,D in standard G tuning Can easily be tuned in other tunings as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"one-half left spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDIMENSIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Width at the Nut 1 1\/4″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScale Length Nut to Bridge 26 1\/4″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRim Diameter 12″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOverall Instrument Length 37 1\/2″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeight Approx.4.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWARRANTY:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 year warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTriangle Goodtime Box for Carrying\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGig bag or Hardshell Case sold separately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Deering Banjo Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40329213575362,"sku":"GAM","price":1054.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0531\/4104\/5442\/products\/GAM.jpg?v=1755957881","url":"https:\/\/www.jjwmdinc.com\/products\/deering-goodtime-americana%e2%84%a2-5-string-banjo","provider":"JJ Music Sales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
