I now have more banjos that I can possibly justify, except by selling off a couple. The most recent addition is a Goodtime Artisan, chosen for all the wonderful playability and quality it shares with my bass-line Goodtime, and also because of upgrades, including a more traditional finish, planetary tuners, and spikes. But it’s not my second Goodtime; that’s a Classic Special, which is the open-back banjo I use for professional gigs now. For the whole story, and a comparison among the various lines, check out this article:
