The Deering 50th Anniversary model commemorates half a century of banjo craftsmanship with an exclusive twist. This ultra-rare banjo is limited to just 10 pieces worldwide and can only be found at a few lucky dealers. Zenith is lucky to have the only one in Australia. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of banjo history!
The exterior of this banjo is a true masterpiece. Gold-plated hardware throughout highlights the beautiful "Sepia Burst" stain, which breathes life and depth into the AAA Maple that characterises this exceptional instrument.
The bound ebony fingerboard and ebony peghead overlay feature intricate gold mother-of-pearl inlays, including a distinctive 50th Anniversary banner. Complemented by gold-plated planetary tuners with cream buttons and a Deering Smile bridge, this banjo exudes refined elegance.
Under the hood, our celebrated 3-ply maple rim and -06- bell bronze tone ring combination helps it deliver a powerful, balanced voice with rich clarity and projection.
Combining striking aesthetics with exceptional sound, this banjo embodies the pinnacle of Deering’s heritage and craftsmanship. It arrives in a Deering hardshell case, prepared for the stage and designed to endure as both a performance instrument and a prized collector’s piece.
One only in Australia - available exclusively from Zenith Music.
