The Goodtime Americana Limited Edition Bronze banjo with scoop is a fine beginner's instrument with extra style! Special cosmetics that add extra value are the specially designed peghead engraving, deluxe inlay pattern, bronze-color hardware and an added armrest. The 12" pot of the Americana provides deeper, warmer tone than the standard 11" Goodtime.  The scooped fretboard is a feature preferred by many players of old time frailing and clawhammer styles.
