"Have a Goodtime" - Hudba
Visited shop in Spring Valley, CA today. Absolutely (!) impressed with people (Carol and David) and product. Looking forward to future factory tour and getting a Goodtime and learning to jam.
Love mine.
The truss rod is not needed on the Goodtime if you use light strings or gut/nylon strings. I actually used a lighter medium string set with no warp or deformation of the neck...but it is not suggested. As for making minor adjustments to the neck angle, you can adjust the coordinator rod to do that (and there are instructions included in the manual). Hope this helps. I still have my Goodtime. It is no longer my primary banjo but I still love it. Great banjo for the price IMHO.
Thanks for the helpful reply! :)

Hi I have the very nice Goodtime banjo uke. Can I play that like a banjo? What sort of tuning would I use please?
Very informative, thanks for posting this video! I'm wanting to get a good starter banjo, I am looking for the cheapest banjo that is still considered a quality instrument and also made completely of solid wood (no laminate). The goodtime openback banjo really looks like a nice, quality instrument and seems to fit the bill and I really like the contemporary look of the white maple, I also like that the banjo is made in the US. However, I noticed the goodtime openback banjo does not have a truss rod and was wondering if this was a compromise. I have researched, and as usual there are people saying the truss rod is not needed and others that say it is needed, no clear answer. Coming from a background of guitar where a guitar set up sometimes involves a truss rod adjustment, I was wondering what the design philosophy was behind leaving the truss rod out on the good time openback banjo, I'm sure it was partly due to creating an affordable banjo but since the goodtime openback is pitched as an affordable quality instrument I would like to know the design philosophy behind the no truss rod route. I do see that you all offer great guarantees on your goodtime banjos. My question is: Am I going to have problems with a goodtime openback, 5, 6, 7 years down the road since it has no truss rod. Maybe you all could explain your view on this matter in one of you videos, Thanks.
