From the Goodtime to the Golden Era

Most players meet Deering through the Goodtime line: the Goodtime Openback for clawhammer and old-time, and the Goodtime Two with a resonator for bluegrass. Above them come the Artisan Goodtime, Blackgrass and Six-R models, and at the top Deering’s professional banjos, such as the Sierra, Golden Era and Tenbrooks Saratoga Star.

Tenors, six-strings and left-handed Deerings

Deering also makes 17 and 19-fret tenor banjos and the Goodtime Six and Six-R banjitars. Left-handed versions of the Goodtime Openback, Goodtime Two, Goodtime Americana and Artisan Goodtime Two are on this page. We install spikes at the fret positions you choose at no extra charge, and we can order any banjo in Deering’s lineup. Call or text us at 404-218-8580.

Common questions

Is Banjo Warehouse an authorized Deering dealer?
