It is first and foremost a very playable instrument, that is built to be durable and travel easily, while being a superb sounding banjo that pleases audiences. The vintage look and vibrant tone of the patented Goodtime Special tone ring set this banjo apart, as clearly louder than the Goodtime Two and great for playing in a band setting. The Classic Goodtime Special has the look of an older banjo with the rich brown stain, Deering fiddle shaped peghead and planetary banjo tuners. The Classic Special can be heard with a sweet voice with sustain that compliments all the instruments in a band. Tuned to an open G Chord, with the spikes already installed, you can easily play in other keys.

The Classic Goodtime Special is an achievement in keeping the cost down while providing an instrument that will stay in tune and perform reliably because it is made with precision by skilled American craftsmen. Made efficiently at our factory in Spring Valley (San Diego area of California), this is a comfortably playable banjo with a wonderfully bright tone. It is a solid dependable instrument that is immensely playable with excellent tonality and clarity.

Ample
Good size and carrying options (strap, crossbody). Adequate compartments and hardware. I like the relatively neutral "green" color (there are 3 other options). All color options share the strap pattern; I find it OK but would prefer if the strap were the same color (solid) as the bag itself.

Love the vibrant straps, a cute everyday bag!
This shoulder handbag is a good value for the cost. Made of good quality materials. I especially like the silver rings for attaching the longer strap, and the silky material of the straps themselves is also nice. Inside there are several zippered pockets for your keys, pens, and other items. There is also a pocket for your cellphone. I use this bag for carrying my laptop back and forth to work, and I always feel very stylish when I am wearing it. The size is perfect for carrying a laptop or notebooks and books back and forth or for carrying on luggage on a plane. My one small complaint is the length of the sewn on straps is just slightly too short. I sometimes have to bend my arms more extremely to get them through the longer, sewn-on shoulder strap.

Heavy duty, thick tote bag.
This is a pretty heavy duty canvas bag. It’s a little smaller than it looked in the ad, but it does seem very strong and put together and I think it is waterproof or water resistant so that’s useful. I can definitely see this for shopping or just like out running errands, it’s got two sets of straps are nice. You can wear it multiple ways. The quality is pretty good. Better than a lot of the bags that I’ve been getting these through Amazon.

Pretty nice little bag
Color: Black
Wasn’t sure if I would like the size of the bag as I was planning on using it as my everyday purse. Pleasantly surprised by how much can fit in it. Definitely good for travel as it will hold what you need. I would only say that the strap would benefit from having a wire in it to prevent people from just cutting it off. Other than that, it is a nice looking bag. Good size. Seems to be well put together and sturdy. Note if you are on the bigger size, the strap might not fit around you. I do have to have it fully extended to fit properly. But it is comfortable to wear and the wide strap doesn’t put too much pressure on my shoulder. I would buy again or at least from the same brand.

Can’t beat this purse/ bag
Color: Green
Nice, light weight and plenty of room for lots of stuff actually. Love the built-in card holders very convenient, durable, the locking features with the zippers, genius idea,and the green is so pretty if you’re looking for a smaller bag and everyday smaller bag that can hold all your crap (face it ladies we carry a lot of crap) this purse is absolutely beautiful and perfect. I’m actually thinking about getting one for all my work stuff instead of my backpack.
