Description
Brand: Fender Number of Strings: 4
Banjo Type: Plectrum Banjo Country/Region of Manufacture: United States


This is a nice old Fender Artist plectrum banjo that is a rare gold-plated version. The banjo features a walnut resonator with binding on top and bottom, three piece neck of walnut and maple with nice inlays and edge binding, gold-plated tuners with ivory knobs, original no-hole archtop tone ring setting on a walnut rim, gold-plated Oettinger tailpiece and armrest, and a nice old Superior blue lined hard shell case. The banjo is in good condition with normal wear for a 50 year old banjo. Some gold is coming off on the metal parts. Great old banjo that you don't see every day. Similar to a Concert Tone plectrum but without the engraving and extra marquetry.
