Deering - Golden Era (New)
The Golden Era is a unique model of the Deering line. It's designed to reproduce the most
sought-after five-string banjos of the pre-war era. The unique features of the Golden Era are the
thicker neck shape which creates more sustain and the deeper resonator which provides that
warm gutsy tone. They use an Ebony fingerboard and the flame Eastern hard rock maple of the
neck and resonator are stained with a cremona sunburst stain. Mother-of-pearl inlays are the
traditional "Hearts and Flowers" pattern. The Maple rim is turned to traditional dimensions and
mounted with a zinc flange, twenty-hole virgin bell bronze tone-ring and presto style tailpiece with
careful attention to original dimensions to recreate the sound and performance traditionalists
desire.
*This instrument comes with a hardshell case.
List Price: $4661.00 - Call (423) 345-3510 for discounted price quote, shipping, handling, and
sales tax (applicable to Tennessee residents) fees.
Deering - Sierra (New)
The Sierra is Deering's most popular model because it is very affordable and you get all the
important features that affect the tone and playability.
Greg Deering explains it best: "No one can buy a better banjo! They could buy a fancier one but
not a better one. The satin finished mahogany neck is made the same as every one of our necks
- fast, comfortable, and precise. A masterpiece of playability! The pot or drum assembly is the
best quality money can buy. It has our 3-ply maple rim, our top quality sand-cast virgin bell
bronze tone-ring, and our own one piece cast zinc flange. In fact, it is the exact same pot we use
on most of our more expensive banjos all the way up to the Gabriella!
*This instrument comes with a hardshell case.

Deering - Boston (New)
For parking lot picking the Boston rings out loud and clear. The thick steel rim which is unique to
the Deering line produces a sound similar to a bronze tone-ring and enables you to get a much
more affordable banjo. The Boston has the same adjustable mahogany neck, Ebony
fingerboard and mother-of-pearl dot inlays, and satin finish as the Sierra. The primary difference
is in the drum assembly which is a 3/16" thick steel rim but rings like a tone-ring. The 24-piece
flange and steel rim give you a very enjoyable tone. We use high quality sealed guitar-style
tuners because they provide a 6:1 gear ratio for accuracy in tuning. The fifth peg is geared as
well. The 24-piece flange design allows you to convert this banjo to open-back by removing the
flange pieces and resonator.
*This instrument comes with a hardshell case.

Deering - Goodtime 2 (New)
The Goodtime 2 banjo is fast and easy to play due to the slender, low profile, rock maple neck.
The single coordinator rod in the pot allows the player or technician to adjust the action to suit
the players needs. The standard 11" diameter rim is a combination of birch and rock maple. The
16 brackets and standard rim diameter make head adjustments easy and simple and the
availability of replacement heads is simple since the heads are the same size as almost all
modern banjos (11" high crown). The maple resonator has a natural blond maple finish with a
single black binding strip around the back edge. The resonator fastens to the banjo by machine
screws that thread into brass wall lugs on the side walls of the resonator. Access is easy and
simple. The Goodtime 2 is equipped with all geared tuning machines for easy, accurate, and
stable tuning. The maple and ebony bridge and top frosted head give a crisp, bright sound.
