I stood the bridge back up and had a great banjo to begin learning on. I was a '80 model and they thought it was broken because the bridge was laying down flat. PostedВ -: 16:37:23 The year I got out of High School ('81) I bought a Fender Leo from our local music shop. You might want to try checking with the Fender company.

I used to own one many many years ago.They were very popular around the 70's and 80's.

Quote: Originally posted by RB5 Hey Lesa A picture of it would be very helpfull but judging by the serial number I would probably put it around 1980's. I'm looking for a value so I can get a fair price. I'm thinking of selling it so I want to know if it is a standard or a Fender Leo deluxe. PostedВ -: 09:21:14 Thanks! I have added a couple pictures. These banjos have withstood the test of time and are still regarded as very good intermeniate banjos The serial number is totally useless as we have discussed here a number of times in determining anything about date, they were not and are not ment to be used by the owner for this purpose by Fender and Fender has kept no records AT ALL in regards to banjos, especially since the sale of Fender by CBS to the current owners in 1985 Hope this helps some Scott.

This guide can help you determine the approximate age of your older Fender banjo, what the price range was during its years of production and what it sold for in the last year it was available. The information in it was acquired by searching through archives of old Fender price lists and catalogs, beginning with 1968. The year I got out of High School ('81) I bought a Fender Leo from our local music shop. I doubt you'll be able to determine an exact date. Your best guesstimate on age will be extrapolated from the model evolution. The new ones don't have the Deluxe block in the fingerboard, although there are still many unsold models in the marketplace that have the block. The Fender Leo morphed into the Leo Deluxe then the FB-58 Deluxe and now it's just the FB-58. Their website goes up to the point where production moved from Japan to Korea to China. Since Fender doesn't actually make their banjos, I doubt you'll find anything meaningful in the serial number. PostedВ -: 14:05:48 I'm guessing you want to find out how old your FB-58 is. There are some folks here on the hangout that are very familiar with those Asian factories and can probably add more.

I suspect that it and mine, like most of the Asian banjos of that vintage were all turned out by the same factory in Korea.

Unfortunately, the serial numbers of the 60's and 70's-era Fender banjos weren't issued chronologically, so you really can't estimate the date from the serial number. I also know that Leo left Fender in 1970. I know that Leo sold Fender in 1965, but I know it's not that old. I am just curious as to the age of the instrument. I have a Fender banjo that I bought from a cousin of mine.
