One of the most versatile instruments in the Deering lineup, the Eagle II is a 5-string acoustic-electric resonator banjo ready to take on everything from mellow clawhammer to biting bluegrass. The key to this banjo’s sonic flexibility is Deering’s patented Twenty-Ten tone ring — a cutting-edge brass tone ring like no other, supplying the Eagle II with mighty midrange, formidable lows, and a bright, clear top end. It’s fitted to a 3-ply violin-grade maple rim and a maple/poplar resonator for phenomenal projection, while the Kavanjo banjo pickup system allows you to faithfully electrify your banjo’s acoustic tone up onstage. Fleet-fingered players will be sure to love the quarter-sawn maple neck’s slender “D” profile, while the A-grade ebony fingerboard’s intricate inlays are sure to enrapture any audience. A performance-ready package of heavy-duty Deering hardware rounds it all out, including a True Tone Tailpiece, Deering Planetary tuners, a 24-round J-hook rim, and a comfortable Deering armrest.
