Used Fender FB-54 5-String Banjo

The Fender FB-54 5-String Banjo is a lightweight, player-friendly bluegrass machine with classic Fender styling and a bright, punchy voice. This used model features a laminated resonator, chrome-plated hardware, and a Remo Weatherking head for that crisp, traditional snap players expect. Condition-wise, it shows normal cosmetic playwear for an instrument in this price range—some light scuffs on the resonator and minor hardware tarnish—but nothing that affects its performance or tone. If you’re hunting for a reliable used banjo with solid build quality, this FB-54 is a great grab.

Whether you’re learning your first rolls or gigging with an Americana or bluegrass group, the FB-54 delivers a lively, articulate sound that cuts through the mix. The slim neck makes it approachable for beginners, while the resonator projection keeps it stage-ready for more experienced players. It’s a great fit for home practice, jam sessions, acoustic ensembles, or anyone wanting to add banjo textures to their studio work. No case is included with this banjo.
