Deering 40th Annivesary White Oak Banjo (Limited Edition of 40)

For 40 years, Deering Banjo Co. has been at the forefront of banjo innovation, refining the sound of America’s own instrument and expanding the boundaries of its use in all musical genres. In the culmination of their 40th anniversary year long celebration, the Great American Banjo Company adds to its illustrious accomplishments with yet another innovation in the history of banjo. Deering invites you to own a piece of history that serves as a reminder of Greg Deering’s lifelong pursuit to cement the status of the banjo as a true American icon.
Limited to only 40 pieces and featuring a brand new, patent-pending White Oak rim, this banjo is one of the most unique Deering has ever heard. The string response is effortless; crystalline notes ring with the resonance of a church bell, loud and clear, with precise note clarity at on every single fret, a well-known hallmark of all Deering banjos. This sparkling tone is only enhanced by an unparalleled sustain that brings out the best in this instrument’s character. It is simply a delight to play. And here is perhaps the most unique aspect of the 40th anniversary model; it does not feature a tone ring. When you hear it, you will have a hard time believing it. And Deering predicts that many players will appreciate the comparatively lighter weight of this latest innovation in their long history of banjo manufacture.
All 40 banjos feature a white oak neck and resonator and will be individually numbered on the rear of the peghead. A matching White Oak truss rod cap personally signed by Greg Deering adds a finishing touch to the elegant inlays in the peghead while a commemorative inlay adorns the 22nd fret. A ‘AAA’ Grade Smokey ebony fingerboard and tortoiseshell binding on the resonator make this banjo an irresistible addition to any banjo collection.
