| There’s been a huge resurgence in bluegrass over the past several years, perhaps simply because people are realizing that there’s a uniquely American sound to the genre.
Whatever the reason, banjos are experiencing a huge surge in popularity. The FB-54 is Fender’s entry-level banjo, but it has features you’d expect in a much more expensive model—especially the mahogany resonator and neck, 27.4” scale, aluminum rim, rosewood fingerboard with pearloid inlay and chrome-covered tuners.
