The Goodtime Special which features a tone ring and resonator, now has an updated look that is inspired by the American Art Deco design movement of the 1920s with its distinct new inlay design and peghead engraving. The hardware is finished in a beautiful and durable US Bronze powder finish, which is not only hypoallergenic, it won’t tarnish! The Goodtime Special banjos always feature a steel Goodtime tone ring which when matched with its resonator the tone of your banjo will be bright, crisp, and loud which is perfect for bluegrass playing. As with all of our banjos, this banjo is made in the U.S.A. by craftspeople who love and understand banjos!
