The Deering Sierra 5-String Banjo is their most popular professional grade banjo for almost 30 years. This one is a rare custom with their ‘Greg’s Green’ finish. This deep forest green was personally chosen and adapted by Greg Deering so hence the name! If your looking for something just a little different, but not too flashy or gaudy, the Greg’s Green satin finish is a very classy look.
Deering manufactures the Sierra as affordably as possible and still retains all of the high end features that affect the tone and playability. Simple detailing and satin finish allows them to keep the cost down, while still giving you all the important components of a high quality banjo like Deering’s -06- Bell bronze tone ring, 3-ply Red Maple rim, planetary tuners and Deering Nickel hardware and Maple neck and bound resonator.
Maple gives this banjo a brighter and more focused tone quality perfect for bluegrass style.
