The Calico is not only beautiful, but it is also exceptionally dynamic with both powerful sound and response providing an excellent tool for all styles of music. At this price point we add two features, we taper the inside of the resonator walls for added projection of tone, and we also add the feature of glued-in frets. Each fret is fitted to the fingerboard and glued in place so that in the future when the frets are worn out, they can easily be replaced without chipping the fingerboard. You will gain these benefits on every model from the Calico on up the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the Deering Calico banjo is the Deering bronze tone-ring, precisely fitted to the three ply maple rim. The Deering -06- tone ring produces a beautiful, balanced overtone spectrum. Its weight is ideal for most styles played on the banjo. A softer touch will provide you with as much sustain as you ever want, a sharper attack will produce a distinct pop and accurate note separation. You will notice no dead spots over the entire fingerboard. The beautiful highs and powerful well rounded bass is the result of intense study of alloys and shapes resulting in superb sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eNeck Wood: Quartersawn AA Grade Curly Maple \u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: Slender \"D\" Shape\u003cbr\u003eStain: Honey Amber\u003cbr\u003eFinish: High Gloss\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Deering Planetary Tuners\u003cbr\u003e5th String Tuner: Deering Gotoh Geared 5th String Tuner\u003cbr\u003eFrets: 22 Glued In Nickel Silver Frets\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: AAA Grade Ebony\u003cbr\u003eInlays: Mother Of Pearl Scroll Inlays\u003cbr\u003e5th String Spikes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePot\u003cbr\u003eRim: 3-Ply Violin Grade Maple\u003cbr\u003eRim Diameter: 11\"\u003cbr\u003eTone Ring: Deering -06- 20 Hole Bell Bronze Tone Ring\u003cbr\u003eHead: 11\" Top Frosted Medium Crown\u003cbr\u003eTension Hoop: Notched Brass Tension Hoop\u003cbr\u003eHooks \u0026amp; Nuts: 24 Round J-Hooks and 1\/4″ Hex Nuts\u003cbr\u003eFlange: Deering One Piece Cast Zinc Flange\u003cbr\u003eArmrest: Deering Armrest\u003cbr\u003eHardware Plating: Nickel\u003cbr\u003eBridge: 5\/8\" Deering Smile Bridge\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece: Deering True Tone Tailpiece\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Hand Finished Satin Polyurethane\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResonator\u003cbr\u003eResonator Wood: 3-Ply Poplar\/Poplar\/Curly Maple\u003cbr\u003eResonator Finish: High Gloss\u003cbr\u003eResonator Sidewalls: Tapered\u003cbr\u003eResonator Diameter: 13 7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eResonator Stain: Honey Amber\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003eNeck Width at the Nut: 1 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eScale Length Nut to Bridge: 26 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eRim Diameter: 11\"\u003cbr\u003eOverall Instrument Length: 38\"\u003cbr\u003eWeight Approx.: 11 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarranty\u003cbr\u003eThe trust and pride we share in our product gives us the confidence to grant every owner of a Deering banjo a lifetime warranty ensuring thequality of our materials and workmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrings, Tuning, Etc.\u003cbr\u003eComes strung with Deering 5-String Light Gauge Banjo Strings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes tuned: G, D, G, B, D\u003cbr\u003eCan easily be tuned in other tunings as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with a hardshell case.\u003cbr\u003eNB: Due to current supply constraints, case brand may vary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45201846763567,"sku":"C BE16","price":5999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/2875\/9855\/files\/DSC_0265_783918ad-869b-4e49-8a19-52acb0365b10.jpg?v=1776096763","url":"https:\/\/fullersguitar.com\/products\/deering-calico-5-string-banjo","provider":"Fuller's Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
