Designed in collaboration with Scott Avett, this signature Deering resonator banjo is a reflection of both musicality and visual artistry. Every detail—from the voice to the inlay—was shaped with intention, resulting in an instrument that feels as personal as it sounds.
At its core, this banjo features a grenadillo tone ring, delivering a warm, rich response with remarkable clarity and depth. The tonal character is expressive and balanced—equally at home driving rhythm or carrying melody.
Visually, the instrument is unmistakable. Custom inlays, designed by Scott himself, adorn both the peghead and fingerboard, giving the banjo a distinctive identity that sets it apart from anything else in the Deering line.
This is more than a signature model—it’s a creative partnership brought to life in wood, metal, and sound.
