    1970's FENDER LEO PROFESSIONAL BANJO

    Complete with Original Fender Hard Case
    Nicer model with multi-color pearlescent inlays
    Beautiful mahogany body/neck/headstock
    Weighs roughly ~10lbs
    Has been very well maintained
    No cracks, scratches, or problems
    Appears barely used
    EXCELLENT CONDITION!

    Back in the 1970's when folk music and bluegrass were in a renaissance, Leo Fender decided he wanted to compete with all the Gibson Mastertones that were flying off the shelves and he designed the Fender ARTIST and the LEO (named after himself). These were wonderful banjos . . . heavy, beautiful, loud and very popular. This is a banjo for professionals.

    Beautiful vintage "Leo Fender" banjo!
    1970's Leo 5-string banjo by Fender. Made in Japan.
    Resonator is in great shape.
    Frets, nut, and fretboard are in excellent condition.
    Metal is solid.
    The headstock also has fancy mother of pearl inlay around the name LEO.
    The banjo pot, neck and resonator appear to be mahogany.
