We are pleased to be a Deering Banjos Premier Dealer, which allows us to offer you a large selection of in-stock Deering models.
Deering has been manufacturing high-quality banjos, all made in the USA, for over 35 years. From the budget Goodtime series to the upper-line Deering and Tenbrooks series, an astounding range of options are available. Most models can be made in 5-string, 4-string, 6-string and more. Many custom options are also available. (Contact us for details.)
Due to very high demand and a limited production schedule, most Deering banjos listed below will have a wait time of at least 14 months.
Currently, we have our next Deering banjos due in mid-September 2014 (a Golden Eagle II), late October 2014 (a Vega Senator) and mid-December 2014 (a Sierra acoustic-electric). Models in these build slots may be changed with at least two months' notice. So if you would like to place an order with us for a different model, we can substitute it in one of these build slots with enough notice. Very occasionally, build slots may pop up earlier; we're happy to check with Deering on a model you might be interested in.
We generally keep a selection of Goodtime models in stock, with Goodtime orders coming in every 2-3 months. If the Goodtime model you want is not in stock, we can request it in our next order.
Please contact us with inquiries about availability on any Deering or Goodtime models.
All Deering, Vega and Tenbrooks banjos have a hardshell case included in the price. Goodtime banjos do not include a case, but case options are available.
We invite you to visit Deering's website to see pictures and more detailed specs of these models.
