Fender

Sound that cuts through a blazing bluegrass band.

The Fender FB59 Banjo easily competes with much more expensive banjos, and has the loud, ringing tone you need to be heard in any music mix.

The FB59 features a walnut resonator, walnut neck with maple strip, 26.4" scale, wood rim, gold hardware, rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlay, a brass tone ring and a hardshell banjo case.

I bought this for my 13 yr. old son who is a beginner. This thing is bright! The tone you get from this thing is amazing. The playability is just as great. Topped off with the walnut and gold finish, it sure is pretty. My family are gibson fans and not bashers in no way, but we have picked with 4 different mastertones now, and the owners have layed them down and picked his up, and loved it. The closest sound I've heard was from a high end Huss and Dalton. From beginner to pro you'll love it!
