This 2005 Fender FB-59 Resonator Banjo, crafted during Fender's highly regarded production era in South Korea, stands out as the company's flagship, professional-grade 5-string banjo designed to deliver maximum volume and clarity for bluegrass players. Built with a 3-ply maple rim, a heavy flathead brass tone ring, and a gloss-finished laminate walnut resonator, this inspired instrument produces a loud, punchy, and bell-like tone that easily cuts through a loud acoustic ensemble. Its premium aesthetics rival much more expensive banjos, featuring a walnut neck with a maple center strip, a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard adorned with intricate deluxe flower mother-of-pearl inlays, gold-plated hardware, and ivory-colored pearloid tuner buttons.
Notes:
This 2005 Fender Korea FB-59 Resonator Banjo is in Excellent condition, part of a family collection, with extremely light wear consistent with age and appropriate home use. Includes Fender fitted hard case.
