Kristin Scott Benson Giving Tuesday Charity Banjo!


This first-of-its-kind 2023 Giving Tuesday Banjo is inspired by Kristin Scott Benson personal custom Golden Series Deering Banjo and her dedication to bluegrass and old time music education!

This banjo is modeled after the popular Artisan Goodtime Two. It has been custom stained in her favorite dark walnut color, personally signed by Kristin, and for the first time ever this Artisan Goodtime Banjo has a Speed Neck just like on Kristin’s banjo!

If you know Kristin she is passionate about music education and seeing it be accessible to all. That is just what the Tryon Fine Arts Center does through their PacJAM program. We are pleased that they will be the beneficiary for Kristin’s Giving Tuesday Banjo Auction!

*Shipping, and any Customs or Duty fees covered by winner.

More about the Artisan Goodtime Two Banjo featuring a Midnight Maple Fingerboard and Vintage Artisan inspired inlays!

With a bluegrass resonator back for projection, the Artisan Goodtime Two banjo has a 3-ply violin grade maple rim and produces a bright and clear tone that projects well and is louder than its openback counterpart.  The Artisan Two is enhanced with a rich brown stain, white detailing, and spikes at 7, 9, and 10. The use of spikes enables you to expand your playing from the key of G to easily play in the keys of A, B, and C.

Here is a banjo you can have right there by your easy chair or take out an play in a jam. It holds its own as a bluegrass banjo for anyone looking for a lighter weight option and has the looks to boot! It's great for hours of practice with an accurate neck that is as comfortable as can be. You'll appreciate how light it is when you reach over to pick it up and enjoy playing it.
