Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Fender FB-58 is a great banjo for Scruggs-style players. It is loud and bright sounding. With a proper setup, it has the twang of a $2000 instrument. Note that it is quite heavy and solid. The inlays are pearloid, not mother of pearl like on the Fender FB-59, but they're still attractive. The plating on the hardware is durable, and the wood is top notch; I personally like the sunburst pattern on the back of the resonator and of the neck. My one complaint concerns the frets; they really don't hold up too well. I've played my FB-58 lightly for one year, and the frets already show visible signs of flattening. Overall, I think this is the best bet in the under $1000 class of banjos. If you have a little extra to spend, consider the Fender FB-59; it sounds the same as the FB-58, but is made of better material, such as walnut and bone on the 59 versus maple and plastic on the 58.
