damn google you made me look stupid the video is a review of the Fender FB-59 i googled a review for a fender FB-54 and i ended up here ....LOL and though hey i am gonna buy that budget banjo well it's nowhere in the price range of the FB-54 so i guess i wont be running in my bare feet .......great review and nice banjo playing
hey that aint no damn Fender FB54 and if it was i would run down the street in my bare feet to buy one. .... hell yeah at the price the fender fb54 cost
I have a Finder my self and I like very much but It has a Very heavy tone ring in it . But it sounds great I have done some things to it to get a better tone out of it.
I used to play a friends Fender Leo. It was well made, but never sounded quite right. I am surprised at how good the "Tennessee Crafters" banjo sounded. Reminds me of My Deering Calico.
I agree. I DO own the Ephiphone MB 250, and while it's an okay sounding banjo, it's really a lousy instrument overall. It has a cheap aluminum rim, and goes out of tune easily.
I have a FB-59 and replaced the bridge; I installed a Bart Veerman 'mystery bridge' and it made a huge difference! My wife complained about the 'noise', so that's a perfect benchmark... Anyway, the sound and volume improved dramatically!

An epiphone mb 250 is a good banjo not tested here for about $500 and its made by gibson so that says something

it also says something that its got the epiphone name instead of the gibson name

made by gibson in CHINA. not to say it is not a good banjo, i dont own one, but take that into consideration.

Listened to all the tests I think the Gibson Earl Scruggs sounded the best but this fender is good and cost thousands of dollars less.

Hi Casey,
I have a FB-59 and replaced the bridge; I installed a Bart Veerman 'mystery bridge' and it made a huge difference! My wife complained about the 'noise', so that's a perfect benchmark... Anyway, the sound and volume improved dramatically!
Happy pickin'
