That sounds like a credit card. Most bigger music chains have financing of their own, but they also generally have smaller and more questionable selections of banjos.

Guitar Center has credit cards, and they also sell Deerings.

You already have two pretty decent banjos, maybe they just need a good set up?

I have a credit card from Musicians Friend where I buy my strings from. You can call them at 1-800-778-5401. They have gibson banjos and Deering and most of the american banjo's. Look them up on the website at www.musiciansfriend.com

Buying on a credit card may turn out very expensive. Be sure to check out the interest rate and expenses.

I have the most interesting Jatoba fretboards. A custom builder CAN save you trouble and money. We listen to people. To me it's not a question of payments, it's what are you buying?

I've done lots of Layaways over the years, helped out a lot of pickers get the banjo they wanted, but didn't have the immediate cash on hand.
I'm a Stelling Dealer, also a Dealer for Recording King,Gold Star,Goldtone, and I just closed a Deal with my Good Buddy Jimmy Cox, so I'm now a Dealer for Cox Banjos.
If any of those are of interest to you drop me a line, we'll work out some details.
Thanks

Zyndall------If Clyde from Guns and Banjos offered me a deal on getting a Cox, I'd seriously consider it.
Cox----fine banjos.
Clyde---standup guy.

Layway deal, fine. But IMO, it would be crazy to go in debt for a new banjo when I already owned a Denver Belle.

Curley Maple, Check with Clyde and see what kind od a deal he can fix you up with..
