A cosmetically upgraded Goodtime with a rich brown-stained rim and neck plus vintage-style Artisan inlays, keeping the standard Goodtime's construction but adding planetary tuners as standard equipment.
About the Deering Artisan Goodtime
The Artisan Goodtime uses the same 11-inch, 3-ply violin-grade maple rim and slender rock maple neck as the standard Goodtime, but both are stained a rich brown rather than left natural, and the fingerboard carries vintage-styled Artisan inlays plus a Goodtime Americana logo engraved into the peghead - purely cosmetic distinctions over the base model rather than construction changes.
One functional upgrade over the entry Goodtime is standard-fitted planetary tuners with a geared 5th-string tuner, rather than simpler tuning hardware, giving more precise tuning control. The rest of the spec matches the base Goodtime closely: 22 pressed-in nickel silver frets, 26 1/4-inch scale, a steel tension hoop, 5/8-inch maple/ebony Goodtime bridge, and a durable satin finish, weighing the same 4.5 lbs as the standard model.

Sound character of the Deering Artisan Goodtime
Like the standard Goodtime, the Artisan model keeps the plain 3-ply maple rim with no metal tone ring, so its core voice stays soft, warm, and open-back-mellow rather than bright and ringing. The brown-stained finish and upgraded planetary tuners are cosmetic/mechanical refinements, not tonal ones - the tone character matches the rest of the tone-ring-free Goodtime line.
