Description
Fender Banjos from Japan in the 1970’s are exceptional and they do have a following. This was made at a time in Japan where quality standards were HIGH and many Japanese Banjos are superior to American Made Banjos of the same era.
This starts with a thick Maple shell. The neck and resonator are both mahogany and this has a rosewood fretboard. The fretboard has a Leaves and Bows inlay pattern. The hardware is nickel and is all original. This has a 2 piece flange and a full size 20 hole tone ring. This is a professional quality banjo with certainty and this has a lot of tone and volume. There is white binding on each side of the neck and resonator and this banjo is all original.
This also has a very clean original Fender hardshell case. The original Fender Leo clear plastic head is also included plus a vintage Fender strap. This is a complete package and the banjo is also very clean. This is a smoking hot banjo for bluegrass that will be heard and turn heads.
Condition
This was lightly used and has been professionally cleaned at the Banjo Warehouse. This has been disassembled and we have buffed all of the metal to a shine and waxed the finish to a shine as well. There is a bit of button scratching on the surface of the finish of the resonator. There is so little and it is so light some people without the best vision could not see it, even if they were close to the banjo. Other than that this shows almost no wear. There is almost no fretwear at all, the frets look almost untouched. There also are no spikes or 5th string capo and there never has been.
Not only is the banjo clean the case is as well. This is a great example of one of these top quality 1970’s Japanese Fender Banjos.
Set Up
This has been professionally set up at the Banjo Warehouse in Atlanta Georgia. This has a new Remo frosted head which has been set to 90 on a drum dial. The bridge is set with correct intonation. This has new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings and the action feels great. This also is adjustable.
This banjo is such a wonderful example of the dedication to quality and perfection held by so many Music Manufacturers in 1970’s Japan.
