Deering Blackgrass Special Banjo with Free Official Deering Banjo Case
The Goodtime Blackgrass "Special" features a Deering Flat Head Tone Ring.
The difference between the Blackgrass Special and the standard Blackgrass is the Blackgrass Special features a Deering Goodtime Special flat head tone ring which gives the banjo a brighter and richer tone. This is essentially the same banjo as the Goodtime Artisan Special banjo but with a black stain, black head, and black powder coated hardware.
The Deering Goodtime Black Grass Special with tone ring not only looks great but is the ultimate banjo for players looking for something with a darker look The pure black stain of the all maple wood is accented with matte black hardware and a black head which combine to put a dark twist on an otherwise traditional instrument.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpfulFirst things first, this Banjo is incredibly hard to find. The fact that I found it here was a blessing in itself. Seriously, every music store around has it on back order. I’ve owned(pre-owned) the standard Blackgrass w/o tone ring and let me tell you, it makes a world of a difference! It’s a beautiful banjo in person with a beautiful sound to boot. 100% an eye catcher! Every question I had was answered promptly and professionally by Ross and I couldn’t be happier with this beauty. If you’re on the fence about the hardshell case, I promise you, you will never find a new Deering case for that price. The case itself is gorgeous and you can’t beat that new case smell lol
