From Deering:
Introducing a new variation on our most popular banjo, the look of the Goodtime Deco banjo is inspired by the American Art Deco design movement of the 1920s, featuring a distinct new inlay design and peghead engraving. The hardware is finished in a beautiful and durable US Bronze powder finish, which is not only hypoallergenic, it won’t tarnish! It also now features a comfortable armrest and as always, the Goodtime banjo is made in the U.S.A. It still has the playability and tone that the Goodtime banjo is famous for, and is light enough to bring with you anywhere.
