One of a Kind Leo Fender made in Japan with artist painting on the inside of a resonator and signed. In honor to our soldiers.
Back in the 1970\'s when folk music and bluegrass were in a renaissance, Leo Fender decided he wanted to compete with all the Gibson Mastertones that were flying off the shelves and he designed the Fender ARTIST and the LEO (named after himself). These were wonderful banjos . . . heavy, beautiful, loud and very popular. This is a banjo for professionals.
