What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: The hardware was polished. All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. The frets ends were sticking out and were rounded off and polished. 

Unlock the authentic bluegrass brilliance with this magnificent Deering Golden Era Banjo! Handcrafted to capture the classic, commanding voice of pre-war instruments, this five-string wonder is an absolute investment in exceptional tone and superior playability. Experience the snappy articulation and deep resonance from the genuine -06- 20 Hole Bell Bronze Tone Ring and violin-grade maple rim. The beautifully flamed, Quartersawn Curly Maple neck, finished in a stunning Cremona Sunburst, features a traditional "U" shape and smooth ebony fingerboard with dazzling Mother of Pearl Hearts & Flowers inlays. This is a robust, rock-solid instrument that offers classic charm and a powerful, clear voice, ensuring you sound absolutely stellar, session after session! This banjo is truly the golden standard for serious pickers.
