Fender - FB59 Mastertone Copy 5-String Banjo w/ Original Hard Shell Case (2011) - USED

Used and recently traded in, and now discontinued Fender FB-59 5 string banjo. Fender's bold answer to the famed Gibson Mastertone series of very high end custom 5 string banjos. One owner instrument that is in excellent overall condition and is complete with its original Fender hard shell Banjo case. The FB-59 was, and still is Fender's top banjo, with features found on banjos that cost many times more and a loud, ringing tone that cuts through a blazing bluegrass band. Features include a walnut resonator, walnut neck with maple strip, 26.4 scale, wood rim, gold hardware, rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlay, brass tone ring and, as mentioned hard case. Pretty much a dead ringer Gibson Mastertone copy without the massive $5000.00 price tag!!
