The Deering Golden Era banjo is a unique model of the Deering line. It is designed to reproduce the most sought-after five-string banjos of the pre-war era. The unique features of the Golden Era are the thicker neck shape, which creates more sustain and the deeper resonator which provides that warm gutsy tone. the build quality of this banjo is second to none.

The pot assembly ... Another unique and very important feature of this banjo is a special Deering -06- 20 hole tone ring fitted perfectly onto a 3-ply rock maple rim to traditional dimensions. The Deering -06- 20 hole bronze tone ring sound is much sought after on pre-war banjos. You will recognise the classic design of the nickel plated zinc flange. The Presto style tailpiece and all features of the pot assembly are fitted with careful attention to original dimensions to recreate the sound and performance traditionalists desire.

The curly maple resonator is deeper than standard models and has tapered walls for fast transmission of sound and re-production of a crisp bluegrass tone. The resonator has a high gloss sunburst finish.

The Maple rim is turned to traditional dimensions and mounted with a zinc flange, twenty-hole virgin bell bronze tone-ring and presto style tailpiece with careful attention to original dimensions to recreate the sound and performance traditionalists desire.

The neck assembly ... The neck is built from Eastern hard rock and shaped in a classic profile, it is fitted with a dense black ebony fingerboard inlaid with mother-of-pearl inlays in the traditional "Hearts and Flowers" pattern. The neck and the resonator are stained with a Cremona sunburst stain. The peghead is shaped in a traditional banjo pre-war style and fitted with the highest quality Deering planetary geared tuners.

All in all this is THE classic bluegrass banjo and a credit to the Deering banjo company..

You can hear the sound of the Golden Era banjo on many albums by fine musicians such as John Hickman and Byron Berline's "Double Trouble" album, Josh Williams' "Old Town of Home" album, and on Herb Pedersen's Desert Rose Band album, "Life Goes On".
