Deering Sierra Open Back 5-String Banjo

The Deering Sierra openback banjo is a fantastic openback banjo and is our most popular openback banjos for players who want to play clawhammer banjo but like a brighter, crisper, clearer tone. If you are a fan of Mark Johnson's Clawgrass style of playing, this banjo is perfect for you. You can also play 3 finger bluegrass style on this banjo with a little less volume (and weight of the banjo) than a standard Deering Sierra banjo with a resonator.  Neck: Mahogany Natural Ebony Fingerboard 22 Pressed In Nickel Silver Frets Original Deering Designed Engraved Inlays Slender Deering Neck Shape Fully Adjustable Truss Rod Deering Planetary Banjo Tuners Deering Geared 5th String Peg Satin Finish Pot: Deering -06- 20 Hole Bell Bronze Tone Ring Three-Ply Violin Grade Maple Rim True Tone Deering Tailpiece Deering Brass Notched Tension Hoop 11” Top Frosted Medium Crown Head 24 Round Hooks and ¼” Hex Nuts Tube Flange Slender Shaped Armrest Nickel Plated Hardware Satin Finish Includes a Deering
