Sold!

Listing is for a late 70's to early 80's Fender Leo Deluxe 5-string banjo, made in Japan. It's hard to date these banjos, but this one does appear to have a fairly early serial number on the label inside the pot, and no serial on the back of the headstock as the later models had.

This is an all maple banjo with a beautiful flamed maple resonator, and rosewood fretboard, real mother of pearl fretboard and headstock inlays, and metal tone ring. Banjo appears to be all original apart from the bridge and head, and spikes added at the 7th, 9th, and 10th frets. There are also two small holes on the side of the fretboard on the binding where a previous owner had a 5th string capo installed, which has cause small cracks in the binding around that area as well, which should hopefully be shown adequately in the pictures. This banjo has normal wear and tear for a banjo of this age, but no cracks or structural damage. We tried to show some of the cosmetic damage on the bottom of the resonator in one of the pictures as well.

These old Japanese banjos are EXCELLENT build quality, far better than any modern imports you see these days and definitely comparable to what the bigger American companies were producing during the same era. This is a great looking, sounding and playing banjo, and would be awesome for any bluegrass banjo player looking for something well built but a bit different from the same ol' same ol' you see everyday.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Sold!

This used banjo is in good working condition with some signs of wear that one could expect from an instrument of this age. There is some corrosion on the nickel-plating around the rim of the head, as you can see in the photos. This does not effect the playability of the instrument.
These banjos were produced from the late 1970's to the early 1980's. Serial numbers are useless as far as dating these instruments because Fender did not keep track of banjo serials, especially after the sale of CBS Fender to FMIC in the 1980's.
The original hard case is included in the sale.
