Excellent condition 2016 Deering Calico flagship series 5 string banjo. Very well taken care of with little wear at all. Includes original hardshell case.
A premium quality world class 5-string banjo that is appreciated for its crisp tone with great highs and distinctive bass response. The Calico is not only beautiful, but it is also exceptionally dynamic with both powerful sound and response providing an excellent tool for all styles of music. At this price point Deering adds two upgraded features, they taper the inside of the resonator walls for added projection of tone, and also add the feature of glued-in frets. Each fret is fitted to the fingerboard and glued in place so that in the future when the frets are worn out, they can easily be replaced without chipping the fingerboard.
