Goodtime Banjo Armrest
Review by Pinenut on 3 Feb 2025 review stating Goodtime Banjo Armrest
The AR-G Goodtime armrest is my favorite.
It's simple, comfortable, fits close to the rim and looks like it belongs there.

Great addition for my Good Times banjo
Review by Chris P. on 27 Dec 2024 review stating Great addition for my Good Times banjo
I bought my banjo and it didn't have an armrest. . . One of the first things I realized that I needed to get. Fast delivery and order process.
As far as functionality, it's a nice addition, easy to install and saves your arm from banjo wear.
I 100% recommend this product!

A good small upgrade.
Review by Bill S. on 22 Sep 2024 review stating A good small upgrade.
Does the job. The “fit” could be a bit better, when attached, the middle bracket pushes out the rest so that it does not quite lay flat against the rim. Not too noticeable, and as stated, it does the job.

Well-made and sturdy. Super easy to install. Nice and low close to the face. Very minimalist so it doesn’t get in the way.

Deering is the best!
Review by Edward B. on 4 Sep 2024 review stating Deering is the best!
I absolutely love Deering Banjo! I now own three and just purchased a Goodtime open back for travel and just having a good time wherever I go. My Sierra and Vega Little Wonder are my gigging and jamming banjos but my Goodtime fills the void for taking it with me to the lake, beach or wherever without worry. It’s a beautiful banjo that playes incre...Read MoreRead more about I absolutely love Deering Banjo! I now

I bought this for my 'Gumby' head Goodtime, & it fits perfectly! On YouTube, Deering has an instalation video, which made it so easy! Thanks for having this, as when playing the brackets can be annoying to the arm.

Very happy with the banjo - good choice for a beginner. Only complaint: I was surprised to see the finger joint at end of neck, definitely don’t like that. Otherwise excellent.

Q: Once installed, is it "normal" for the Goodtime banjo armrest to slide around a bit (back and forth)? I don't want to overtighten the j hooks, but I'm wondering if more tightening is necessary to prevent the armrest from moving? Thanks.
