The fullness and warmth of the larger rim is further enhanced by the addition of a 12” renaissance head which beautifully complements the banjo both visually and sonically. Made in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinuing the long standing Goodtime philosophy of offering the best value American made banjos available, the Americana is the lowest priced 12” model on the market today and retains the distinctive natural blonde Goodtime aesthetics. In keeping with the rest of the Goodtime line, this banjo also features guitar style tuners, a rock maple neck, nickel plated hardware, and hardwood inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlayed with an old time style technique, the Americana is reminiscent of banjos from a period when larger rims were more prevalent which makes the 12” a great setup for playing old time music. A traditional 11” banjo with a frosted top head has a far brighter sound and will “cut” more. Since the combination of the wider 12” rim and the renaissance head makes for a wonderfully laid back sound in comparison, the Americana lends itself perfectly for musicians looking to use the banjo to back up a vocalist or another instrument, instead of playing the a lead instrument role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake a walk on the wide side with the Goodtime Americana™ banjo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rock Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comfortable \"D\" Shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lexan Polycarbonate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sealed Geared Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5th String Tuner: \u003c\/strong\u003eGoodtime Geared 5th String Tuner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 Pressed In Nickel Silver Frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePOT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-Ply Violin Grade Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone Ring:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\" Renaissance Medium Crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTension Hoop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beveled Steel Tension Hoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHooks \u0026amp; Nuts:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 Flat J-Hooks with 9\/32″ Nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArmrest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Goodtime Armrest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Plating: \u003c\/strong\u003eNickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deering Patented Goodtime Tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand Rubbed Polyurethane with Carnuba Wax Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Width at the Nut: \u003c\/strong\u003e1 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length Nut to Bridge: \u003c\/strong\u003e26 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Instrument Length: \u003c\/strong\u003e37 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Approx.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTRINGS, TUNING, ETC.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eComes strung with\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eDeering Light Gauge Strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eString gauges:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10, 11, 13, 21w, 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComes tuned:\u003c\/strong\u003e G, D, G, B, D\u003cbr\u003eCan easily be tuned in other tunings as well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DEERING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50181934940472,"sku":"GAM","price":749.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/0068\/1272\/files\/GAM_8c580983-5d7d-4cae-8c3a-dddf35faa839.webp?v=1746717790","url":"https:\/\/hoggertysmusic.shop\/products\/deering-goodtime-americana-banjo","provider":"Haggerty's Music Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
