I remember in an old post that Billy Shears was looking for a decent banjo.  Musician's Friend has a decent on on their Stupid deal of the day, so I thought I'd post about it for him:
Musician's Friend Stupid Deal of the Day

It's a Rogue B-30 Banjo for $100, instead of $150.  Nothing too fancy, but it's great for beginners!

Thanks Dulch but I already made the move on the guitar.

I got the amp today and tommorrow the rest is coming. I thought before deciding and I was torn between acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and the Banjo.  I wound up deciding on electric guitar. Got a Vintage Modified Tele instead of a Strat  though.  I love Telecasters and I couldn't resist.

 If it makes you happy, I still want a Banjo and a Strat too.     If and when I go with a Banjo, it will probably be a Deering. I can't be gettin a Korean or Mexican Banjo! It's got to be 100% U.S. of A made! Then it's a real Banjo.  Getting a Banjo thats not made in America would be like getting a Balilika made in Pittsburg!

Sounds good!  Your electric guitar rig looks sweet, so I think you made an awesome choice!

I've wanted a banjo for years, and have had my eye on Deering.  That's one of the top brands amongst the national-touring bluegrass bands and artists that I'm friends with.  There's something about Fender banjos which draws me, though.  I tend to like anything Fender!  (Except for Freddie)

Ha, Freddie! Everytime I mention Fender my Dad says Freddie!

Who was this guy anyway?  Wasn't he a dancer or something?

Freddie Fender used to sing a bit of country music, I think.  However, he wasn't a country music artist.  I guess I don't really know.

When I was a kid, I could get Freddie Fender and Freddie Mercury mixed up...
