Golden ERA 5-String Deering Banjo

A maple, prewar style bluegrass banjo made like the classic banjos of the 1930's with the same materials and the same weight, design and features, the Golden Era is one of our most popular banjos for traditional bluegrass bands. If you're looking for that classic bluegrass banjo tone and look - this is the banjo for you. Adorned with a traditional hearts & flowers inlay pattern, this banjo has the appearance and feel of the prized banjos from the 1930's.

It is designed to produce the most sought-after sound, a sound previously only achieved by five-string banjos of the pre-war era. This beautiful banjo has a Genuine Deering -06- 20-hole bell bronze tone ring. The drum assembly and neck shape are designed for the traditional crisp and strong bass notes as well as the distinct clear high tones of the cherished bluegrass sound.

Worth the wait! Absolutely stellar instrument...
I cannot explain how wonderful this thing sounds and plays. The tuners are perfection and SMOOTH SMOOTH SMOOTH, and the instrument is as clear as you want it to be. Each note can be articulated perfectly and it sounds AMAZING via the air, or whether going into a microphone or two for recording. Ross helped me over the years and now I finally feel worthy of an instrument like this due to his teaching. The wood grain is incredible on the back, and the fingerboard is smooth and easy, and the frets are perfectly finished and polished. Deering is making some GREAT American instruments.
