Description: Deering Goodtime Six-R 6-String Banjo with Resonator Deering Authorized Dealer - This item is Brand New with Full Factory Warranty. Fuller's Guitar inspects and sets up each guitar to factory spec before shipping. UPC 840394011271 The new Goodtime Six-R banjo comes hot on the heels of the very popular Goodtime Six open back banjo, but with the addition of a radiused midnight maple finger board, and a maple resonator, for a significantly fuller, clearer and more vibrant tone. The new Goodtime Six-R banjo comes hot on the heels of the very popular Goodtime Six openback banjo, but with a few additional features making the Goodtime Six-R ready for the big stage both in looks and in build. Most notably, the Goodtime Six-R features a radiused midnight maple fingerboard, offering the player a striking contrast to the normal blonde of the hard rock maple neck. Tonally, the Goodtime Six-R is elevated by the addition of a maple resonator behind it's 11” 3-ply violin grade maple rim. Like any banjo, the addition of a resonator not only creates a hollow sound chamber, but also provides a flat surface for the sound to bounce off and project forward towards the players audience, instead of being absorbed by their body. The result is a significantly fuller, clearer and more vibrant tone. The Goodtime Six banjos were not designed to replace the guitar, but rather complement it. It affords guitarists the chance to play what they already know with unimaginably creative results.

WHY A GOODTIME BANJO THE POT1. DEERING GOODTIME SMILE BRIDGEThe responsive sensitivity of the maple, with the hard, dense ebony top contributes to the Goodtime banjos clear, resonant responsiveness.2. QUIET TAILPIECESpecially selected metal is used to prevent the tailpiece from making “its own sound” and muddying up the banjo’s tone. The violin maple rim is supposed to sing, not your tailpiece.3. STABILITY ENHANCING J-HOOKSThe proprietary Deering J-hooks are wider at the top to prevent twisting off the tension hoop when tightening the banjo head.4. QUIET COORDINATOR RODMade of special alloy that is strong and does not interfere with the singing resonance of the violin maple rim.5. 3-PLY VIOLIN GRADE MAPLE RIMThe maple in the Goodtime rim is the exact wood used in the finest violins in the world. Only Deering puts this professional grade 3-ply maple rim in a banjo in this price range. THE NECK6. SEALED GEARED TUNERSFive high quality geared tuning machines make tuning the Goodtime banjo easy, accurate and fun. Too many student banjos are cursed with poor quality tuners, so the students blame themselves for an out of tune banjo when it’s the tuner that is at fault.7. ROCK MAPLE NECKThis fine grained, dense, extremely hard, wood creates a stable neck, and imparts a bright, crisp quality to the Goodtime banjo tone.
