New banjo on the way...
I have some okay banjos in my life but I just ordered a higher end banjo today. I have a Deering Eagle 2 on the way from EBay from a Deering dealer. The price was nearly $500 cheaper than I could get it locally. I was able to try one of these sometime back and I love the tone. They seem to have more sustain than your typical BG banjo. I plan to keep my RK35 too since they really are different animals.
That'll make four banjos for me, and I don't see me buying any more.  The Deering should be here Friday. Todd

Hey Todd, congrats! Have you been considering a "high end" banjo for a while?

Yeah. Just never pulled the trigger. I've had some very good banjos, just nothing high end.

The new Deering arrived! Wow, what an impressive banjo! The tone is spectacular and the fit and finish are perfect.

Been pining for a Deering for ages. Have a bunch of Gold Tones as a sort of consolation prize, but I've played some Deerings that would eat my Gold Tones for breakfast.
Btw, the Deering print catalogue is a gold mine of information about banjos in general. Kind of like the first Playboy magazine for those who aren't getting any.
