Product Overview

The Goodtime Americana Limited Edition Bronze showcases a 3-ply violin-grade maple rim with a 12" diameter, finished in an elegant hand-rubbed polyurethane with carnauba wax. The distinctive gold rubbed bronze powder finish hardware provides exceptional durability while remaining completely hypoallergenic. The natural blonde maple fingerboard features exotic hardwood Artisan-style inlays, complemented by a matching motif inlay on the peghead with "Goodtime LTD" banner logo.

The rock maple neck features a comfortable "D" shape profile with a satin natural maple finish, paired with a blonde maple fingerboard adorned with 22 pressed-in nickel silver frets. The 1 1/4" Lexan polycarbonate nut and 26 1/4" scale length provide excellent playability and comfortable string spacing. Sealed geared tuners and Goodtime's specialized 5th string tuner ensure reliable tuning stability during performances.

This limited edition model utilizes a 12" Renaissance medium crown head paired with Deering's patented Goodtime tailpiece and 16 flat J-hooks for optimal tension. The wider rim diameter produces a stronger bass response and warmer overall tone compared to traditional 11" banjos, making it ideal for backing vocals or other instruments.
