2000 Deering Golden Era

Serial # 12713009086. The Golden Era was designed to replicate the tone and feel of a pre-war flat-head. The instrument features - among other things - a thicker neck and a deeper resonator, which add both sustain and warmth to the tone. Eastern rock maple, stained a rich Cremona brown, are used for the neck and resonator; and the three-ply maple rim is fitted with a 20 hole sandcast bell bronze tone ring. Cast Zinc one piece flange, presto tailpiece, Ebony fingerboard and headstock overlay with traditional "Hearts and Flowers" inlays. 1-3/16" wide nut, nickel plated parts, deep and lustrous high-gloss finish. This instrument is in near-new condition; there is no fretwear or finishwear, and only a little bit of playwear on the head. A static-cling plastic shield has been fit to the armrest to protect it from tarnishing; it is easily removable, but is noticeable in these photos.
