Deering Eagle II 5-String Banjo | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Deering Eagle II banjo represents the latest breakthrough in tone ring innovation from the collaborative efforts of Greg Deering and Jens Kruger, featuring the groundbreaking patented Twenty Ten Tone Ring that redefines banjo versatility. This revolutionary brass tone ring produces tone with remarkably rich mid-range and excellent bass and treble response, creating the most unique feature of the Eagle II - its exceptional suitability for both clawhammer and bluegrass styles among others.

Product Overview
The Eagle II showcases Deering's patented Twenty Ten Tone Ring, a revolutionary brass construction that breaks from traditional tone ring design to deliver unprecedented versatility across playing styles. This innovative tone ring provides rich mid-range warmth while maintaining excellent bass and treble response, creating a balanced tonal spectrum that works equally well for the percussive attack of clawhammer and the crisp articulation required for bluegrass picking. The 11" rim diameter with top frosted medium crown head optimizes the tone ring's characteristics for maximum projection and clarity.
The quartersawn maple neck features a slender "D" shape with custom dark "Eagle Red" stain and high gloss finish, providing both visual impact and comfortable playability. The A-grade ebony fingerboard with original Eagle engraved inlays creates striking visual contrast while ensuring smooth, precise fretting. Professional appointments include Deering planetary banjo tuners and Gotoh geared 5th string tuner for superior tuning stability.
The matching resonator with custom dark "Eagle Red" stain and high gloss finish, combined with the 2-piece Eagle series flange and notched brass tension hoop, creates optimal sound projection and elegant appearance. At 10 lbs, this premium banjo provides substantial presence befitting its professional status.
