At the heart of the design is Deering's patented Goodtime Special steel tone ring, developed to produce a crisp, bright, sparkling response with greater richness and projection than a basic Goodtime configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBuilt in Spring Valley, California, the Goodtime Special combines a rock maple neck with a three-ply violin-grade maple rim and a full resonator, creating a traditional five-string platform particularly well suited to bluegrass playing. Its resonator and steel tone ring help focus the banjo's energy outward, giving rolls, melodic passages, and rhythmic backup the presence to remain distinct alongside other acoustic instruments. The comfortable D-shaped neck, satin finish, and geared tuners keep the playing experience straightforward and familiar, while the 26.25\" scale provides a full-size banjo feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe result is a practical step-up instrument for players who want more projection without leaving behind the uncomplicated character of the Goodtime family. Its bright attack and strong volume make it especially at home in bluegrass, acoustic jams, ensemble playing, and other settings where definition matters, while Deering's straightforward construction keeps the focus on playability and sound. This used Goodtime Special is available at Haggerty's Music and ships in a sturdy hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \/ Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-String Resonator Banjo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right-Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTone Ring\u003c\/strong\u003e: Patented Goodtime Special Steel Tone Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rock Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Comfortable D Shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Stain\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lexan Polycarbonate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrets\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22 Pressed-In Nickel Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Inlays\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardwood Art Deco-Inspired Inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePot Assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-Ply Violin-Grade Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTone Ring\u003c\/strong\u003e: Patented Goodtime Special Steel Tone Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\" Top-Frosted High Crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTension Hoop\u003c\/strong\u003e: Beveled Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHooks \u0026amp;
