Fender FB-58 5 String Banjo With Gig Bag The Fender FB-58 5 string banjo is a worthy addition to Fender's long line of great bluegrass instruments. You can see Fender's artistic mastery and attention to detail everywhere you look on this banjo. The precision inlaid headstock and chrome-geared tuners are the crown of this banjo, which also boasts a rosewood fretboard with detailed position inlays, and a brilliant flamed maple resonator with natural gloss finish. You will find when playing the FB-58 that the maple neck feels silky in addition to providing a solid intonation that makes a perfect match with the substantial die-cast metal tone ring that affords increased resonance and sustain. A 24-piece bracket ensures even tension on the banjo head as well as tonal integrity. What was refurbished on this banjo?
The authorized refurbisher did not find any issues with the banjo, all they did was give it a professional set up. Most likely this was an over stock item. **The pictures are of the actual banjo you will receive**Here is how much cash you will save!

I specialize in manufacturer refurbished instruments because I believe they are a tremendous value. These instruments have actually passed more quality tests than those that go straight from the manufacturer to a music store. These instruments do not have major flaws, they have had a minor issue such as a slight finish blemish or perhaps an electrical issue such as a loose solder joint. I buy my instruments from the largest, and in my opinion the best, refurbishing center in the country located near Nashville. They are staffed with factory trained luthiers who take great pride in the products they put up for sale. Each instrument must pass 5 tests before it is released for sale. Some of the models are discontinued and have no issues at all. Each instrument is stamped used and issued a new serial number. This is to prevent unethical retailers from selling these instruments as new rather than refurbished. I live close enough to Nashville that I travel to the factory and pick out my instruments myself. I play each one prior to listing it for sale. You can be assured if I would not be proud to give it as a gift, I will not take it. The pictures in my listings are ALWAYS of the actual instrument that is listed, I never use stock photos for a refurbished instrument. If I know why the instrument was sent for refurbishing I will put it in the listing, however many of them are rated NVR, which means no visible repair. Please email me with any questions you have, you will find that I give very detailed answers. I am a musician first, and that drives my choice of instruments to sell and the detail that I give in answering any questions. Thanks for looking!
