6-String Deering Banjos

If you're a firm believer in "the more the merrier," there's a good chance that one of the Deering 6-string banjos in this section will be the right instrument for you. And the difference between one of these and a 5-string banjo is more than just one more piece of metal - it's a completely different playing experience. Think of a 6-string banjo as being more like a guitar with a banjo's sound, and you're on the right track: they're perfect instruments for banjo players wanting the same tone with a different playing experience, as well as for guitarists who'd like to play the banjo without having to re-learn all their skills from scratch.

Deering is well known for the quality of their traditional banjos, and the 6-string models are no exception. Even starting simple with the Deering Goodtime Solana 6-String Banjo, you're already looking at a high-end instrument equipped with a stock piezo pickup to add the versatility of plugging in. From there, the features only get better, with the Deering B6 6-String Banjo adding a rolled steel drum that rings like a tone ring. At the top of the lineup you'll find models like the Deering Boston 6-String Acoustic-Electric Banjo, which comes equipped with a fully-adjustable truss rod and a powerful Kavanjo humbucking pickup. It's an instrument that has graced the recordings of players such as Keith Urban and Taylor Swift, with results that speak for themselves.

Are you the next superstar who will grow an instrument collection with one of these Deering 6-string banjos? Or are you a musician out of the limelight but wanting high-caliber performance for your hobby? Either way, there's probably a good choice for you here in this section. With the sound of a banjo and the flexibility of guitar tuning, these are appealing instruments that are easy to fall in love with no matter how you decide to play them.
