Deering "Terry Baucom" Model
5-String Banjo
The Terry Baucom signature
banjo from Deering is a very beautiful and unique instrument that
will keep up with the demands of even the most intense players.
There are several custom features that make
the Terry Baucom signature banjo from Deering stand
out among the crowd. The pot assembly consists of
a very responsive red maple rim and a lighter weight
tone ring which is 7 oz. lighter than Deering's standard
tone ring. The lighter weight of this banjo makes it much
more comfortable to play without sacrificing any tone
or richness. In fact, these things combine with a slightly
deeper walnut resonator, a beautiful straight grained walnut
neck, and an ebony fingerboard to produce the perfect balance
of depth, clarity, drive, and responsiveness. All of the subtle
nuances that one might want to pull out of an instrument can be
found in this banjo. And as far as the playability goes,
with the wider string spacing the player can pull all of the dry
vintage tone that this banjo has to offer with ease of the
right hand while cleanly noting, sliding, hammering, pulling, and
bending with the left hand. The Terry Baucom signature
banjo from Deering is a very beautiful and unique instrument that
will keep up with the demands of even the most intense players.

Terry Baucom, the Duke of Drive, joins the Deering Banjo Company in
introducing his dynamic walnut, signature, 5-string banjo. Crafted from elegant, plain walnut,
trimmed in ivoroid with black and white accent stripes, bearing a regal inlay pattern
designed by Greg Deering, and set up to Terry’s personal specifications.
The neck shape has been tailored to Terry’s needs for comfort, and the fast
and accurate fretting demanded by his hard-driving playing style. Set up
includes an 11/16” bridge with slightly wider string spacing and a banjo head tuned to A.
The rim is made of red maple, precisely fitted with a newly designed, lighter weight
Deering tone ring which is 7 oz. lighter in weight than the standard Deering ’06 tone
ring. The balance of the weight of the Terry Baucom tone ring and the red maple rim’s
musical response produces a more resonant sound chamber. From bass notes to highs,
every note is clear and balanced in volume up the entire neck.
