I've played and enjoyed this banjo for several years, and I didn't expect to sell it, but I've got two great banjos and really only need one. These Fender Leo Deluxe banjos are a far cry from the inferior made-in-Korea Fender banjos of recent years. They were made in Japan and exhibit fine craftsmanship, pretty woods, and a unique, vintage-inspired design. The flame maple resonator is especially striking, and I always liked the inlay work on this deluxe model. I don't know of any other option anywhere near this price range that competes on aesthetics, playability, and tone. Has spikes installed for the 5th string, but is otherwise all original.
Comes with original Fender hardshell case. Please note - it does NOT come with the pictured leather strap.
