Custom Fender Concert Tone 54 5-String Banjo

The Concert Tone Banjo Series presents modern interpretations of the classic Fender Concert Tone banjos of the 1960s. Just like the popular instruments of that decade, today’s Concert Tone banjos are finely crafted for rich sound, smooth playing feel and elegant looks. The Concert Tone 54 Banjo offers the most affordable sound and style in the series, with fine features including a rolled steel tone ring, gloss-finish mahogany resonator with aged white binding and black trim, mahogany rim, gloss-finish mahogany neck, and “vintage nouveau” acrylic white pearl inlay work with a “Concert Tone” block inlay at the 18th fret.
This banjo is waiting for a home in consumer hands! It is lightly stamped "used" on the back of the headstock. This designation means the instrument has a minor cosmetic blemish. It is a completely playable instrument with no sacrifice of tone, structure, or playability. This particular banjo has had a professional repair to fix some shipping damage on the side of the resonator. This repair was done very nicely by a Fender-authorized refurbisher to ensure there is no issue in the future and is smooth to the touch. I have included close-up photos. There are some cloudy spots in the finish on the headstock and back of the neck, and there is a soft dent in the finish on the back of the resonator. I have included close-up photos of these imperfections. Aside from what I have described, the instrument is in flawless condition.
This banjo has received a thorough professional setup. It has an excellent neck and plays very nicely across all frets.
A new Guardian Cases hardshell case can be added to US orders for $75 or to international orders for $95. A new padded gigbag can be added to US orders for $30 or to international orders for $40.
