The Artisan Goodtime Jr. is a shorter scale version of its famous Artisan Goodtime Openback sibling, making it the perfect beginner banjo for kids or players of smaller stature.
As you play the 19 fret, 23" scale Goodtime Jr., the medium strings offer both physical and tonal balance across the necks shorter scale, which also makes this banjo a perfect travel or camping companion.
Fans of the Goodtime banjos will also be happy to know that Junior retains the groundbreaking 3-ply violin grade maple rim, which has been key in helping the Goodtime sound so good for so many players.
Don't settle for an average time. Have a Goodtime.
