This is an excellent banjo. The neck is true and has nice low action making it is easy to play.
The Goodtime Midnight Special features Deering's new patent pending Goodtime Tone Ring mounted on a violin grade maple 3-ply rim for great tone, volume, and a balanced sound.
Spikes came from the factory installed at frets 7, 9, and 10 for capo use. It mics very well. I like it so much I have two of them! In fact I have 4 banjos and I need to sell one. The frets are in great shape and there are no dings or dents, just normal wear on the head and arm rest. It is about 5 years old. Hard case is included. Another reason I like this banjo is even with the tone ring it is only about 8 pounds, making it easy to play while standing for long periods.
