You can see this beautiful banjo and Scott playing it in this video...   Modeled after Deering’s popular[Classic Goodtime Two](http://www.deeringbanjos.com/products/classic-goodtime-two-banjo), this resonator back banjo is crafted with a hard rock American maple neck, violin grade maple rim, and stained a stunning custom Cheerwine Red Sunburst. The custom drum head of the banjo bears the unique artwork of the Legendary Giveback III Campaign by Martin Kvamme. It is remarkably light, weighing only 5 ½ pounds; about the same as an acoustic guitar. It also comes with spikes already installed at frets 7, 9, and 10, which act like a capo for the 5th string enabling you to expand your playing from the key of G to easily play in the keys of A, B and C. As special bonus the auction package includes a gig bag carrying case. This banjo is American made, right down to the banjo head made by Remo in California!
