Carefully crafted in the Deering workshop in San Diego (California), it benefits from quality materials such as violin-quality 3-ply maple banding and a thin, ultra-stable hard maple neck. This construction ensures a clear, powerful and rich sound, with excellent projection. Its featherweight of just 1.8 kg (4 lbs) makes it easy to handle, easy to play, and ideal for young musicians or on the move. The Goodtime also boasts exceptional playability, thanks to a slim neck profile, low string action and careful fretting, for optimum playing comfort. It features an in-house designed tailpiece, tension strapping made from raw metal, precision-selected tuners, and top-of-the-range strings for consistent performance. Even after upgrading to superior models, many musicians continue to use their Goodtime on a daily basis, a true modern classic and a reliable companion for years of music-making.
