Deering's Sierra has long been about the best buy in a professional grade, American-made banjo.

Until recently, it was only available in mahogany, but can now be had in either maple (shown here) or mahogany.

With its hardshell case, it lists at $2699 but please call us for selling price. Temporarily Out of Stock

This is a ZEPP Country Music Pick: I feel that among American-made banjos, the Sierra offers the best professional-grade sound and playability for the buck; the savings comes from the absence of mud flaps and racoon tails. There's nothing fancy about this instrument--it just gets the job done, and done right!

	The peghead is Deering's distinctive shape, and now featueres a handsome inlay in its ebony overlay.			The tuners are Deering-branded, Gotoh-made planetaries.
	The banjo has a frosted head and Deering's proprietary tailpiece and bridge. The tone ring is Deering's '06 bell bronze flathead, the same one used in the most expensive of the "Deering Line" of Deering's banjos. The 3-ply maple rim is also used throughout Deering's tone ring banjos.			This maple banjo has a rich stain--the Sierra is also available in mahogany.
	The ebony fingerboard has a new-to-Deering inlay pattern, as well as side position markers.			The one-piece neck is richly stained maple, though mahogany is available.
	The maple resonator is handsome, and has a flat finish and white binding.			The metal bits are all nickel-plated.
