We are proud to manufacture the Sierra as affordably as possible and still retain all of the high end features that affect the tone and playability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The Deering Sierra banjo is truly the flagship of our entire line! How is it that this is so Well I’ll tell you. The pot assembly of the Sierra, the violin grade maple 3 ply rim, the -06- tone ring, the one piece zinc flange, the notched tension hoop, the Deering tail piece and armrest are exactly the same as our whole line all the way up to the Gabriella, with just a few exceptions. The only exceptions are; the Golden Era has a different zinc flange, the Hartford has a Grenadillo wood tone ring, the Terry Baucom has an -06- tone ring that is just a few ounces lighter than the standard -06- tone ring, and the Tenbrooks banjos have the Swiss Jens Kruger tone ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I first introduced the Sierra I kept the cost down by keeping the cosmetics simple. I put the money into the pot assembly. I wanted to build a top professional banjo at a price that I could have afforded when I was a kid going to the music store on my way home from school everyday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the implementation of new technology we have been able to make the Sierra exquisitely beautiful without raising the price. I have been greatly inspired by the art work of the old masters of the Boston banjo era from the turn of the last century. With this inspiration in my blood I have brought art to the Sierra that is usually reserved for banjos costing much, much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sierra is truly a professional masterpiece of both sound and art at a price that is within your reach.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSincerely,\u003cbr\u003eGreg Deering\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNECK\u003cbr\u003eNeck Wood: Quartersawn Mahogany or Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: Slender \"D\" Shape\u003cbr\u003eStain: Brown Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Satin\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Deering Planetary Banjo Tuners\u003cbr\u003e5th String Tuner: Deering Gotoh Geared 5th String Tuner\u003cbr\u003eFrets: 22 Nickel Silver Frets\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: A Grade Ebony\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\u003eTailpiece: Deering True Tone Tailpiece\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Satin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRESONATOR\u003cbr\u003eResonator Wood: 3-Ply Poplar\/Poplar\/Mahogany or Maple\u003cbr\u003eResonator Finish: Satin\u003cbr\u003eResonator Sidewalls: Straight\u003cbr\u003eResonator Diameter: 13 7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eResonator Stain: Brown Mahogany\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 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":45295211905071,"sku":"BE43","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/2875\/9855\/files\/DSC_0690_98da520e-f6f7-4627-91fc-e3c4f76bc241.jpg?v=1777928690","url":"https:\/\/fullersguitar.com\/products\/deering-sierra-5-string-maple-banjo-1","provider":"Fuller's Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
