En forbedret Goodtime Two med uthulet fingerboard og smalere nakkeprofil som dramatisk forbedrer spillekomforten, bygget i USA fra tre-lag ahorntre med resonatorbakside for lys bluegrass-projeksjon.
The Deering Artisan Goodtime Two represents a masterclass in maximizing value without sacrificing American craftsmanship. While the standard Goodtime is often seen as a 'student' instrument, the Artisan upgrades"specifically the Midnight Maple fingerboard and planetary tuners"elevate it to a serious performance tool.
Sonically, the three-ply violin-grade maple rim provides a bright, percussive snap that cuts through a jam. Because it lacks a heavy bronze tone ring, you won't get that deep, earth-shaking growl found in Deering's upper-tier models, but the resonator provides ample projection and a crispness that suits melodic bluegrass beautifully. The slim neck profile is arguably the best in its class, offering effortless navigation for players with smaller hands or those transitioning from guitar.
The addition of the scooped fingerboard is an interesting choice for a resonator banjo; while primarily a clawhammer feature, it offers extra clearance for Scruggs-style players who experiment with right-hand positioning. The trade-off is the lack of a traditional tone ring, which might leave some bluegrass purists wanting more sustain and 'thump.' However, for the intermediate player seeking a lightweight, reliable, and punchy 5-string that stays in tune, it's nearly impossible to beat this at the sub-$1,000 mark.
