Hand built by the fine folks of the Deering Banjo Company in San Diego California, this modestly priced instrument is the perfect banjo for many applications, and combines this with professional playability. A deep-dark smooth maple neck, ebony fingerboard and 3-ply maple rim provide the feel and precision of a much more expensive banjo, while also offering the supreme adjustability you can only get from a Deering. Light and comfortable, this banjo is a perfect old-time, classical, fingerstyle, songwriting, jazz and folk banjo. There's great music in there, you just need to get it out! Price includes a deluxe hard case and a custom setup for you by your friends at Steilberg String Instruments.
