Deering Banjo Company has chosen GHS Strings to become its string supplier. GHS began producing the bulk string gauges for Deering’s range of production banjos earlier this year, including all five-string banjos, as well as 17- and 19-fret tenor, plectrum and six-string banjo models.
Additionally, GHS has taken over production on Deering’s range of string packs, utilizing the company’s Nitro-Pack for anti-corrosion and foil packaging. Deering strings will also feature GHS’s proprietary LockTwist system at the loop end.
GHS of Battle Creek, Mich., is no stranger to crafting banjo string sets, have produced the JD Crowe signature set, as well as the Sonny Osborne signature set, which has been the string set of choice for banjo virtuoso and Deering artist, Jens Kruger for the last few years.
“GHS is just a great fit for us,” said Deering vice president of sales & marketing, Jamie Latty. “We wanted to work with a company that shared our values, and who wanted a long term partnership that focused on exceeding the customer’s expectations of our strings. We are very proud to be working with GHS again. The time was right to rekindle a partnership that we had enjoyed so well in the past.”
