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

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.

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.

Just right!

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!

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.

Love this armrest!

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.

Good for beginner

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.

Only thing that would have made it better is if came standard on the Goodtime banjo to begin with.

Oh Man, that's gonna leave a mark.

I recently ordered, received and installed an "armrest" on my Deering "Goodtime" banjo. It was easily done and it works. My right arm thanks you.
