zZounds Gear Experts Say...
The Fender FB-300 is a great way to get started playing banjo. With everything you need to begin playing, the Fender FB-300 package is a great choice.

The banjo is instrumental (pardon the pun) in American music. Originally descended from traditional African instruments, it plays a major role in bluegrass and country and even pops up occasionally in rock, jazz and fusion. Nothing else sounds like it, and it's a fun instrument to play.

Now it's easy to get started playing banjo - Fender's FB300 Banjo Pack includes a Fender banjo, gig bag, strings, tuner, picks and an instructional book. Everything you need to start a pickin' and a grinnin' right now, all in one package.

Sound
My husband plays all the string instruments, but banjo is one of his favorite. He had a banjo that fell off the stand and the head broke off. I wanted to replace it with one that he would enjoy but it wouldn't break the bank. This banjo is not too expensive but it is nice and my husband loves it.
Features
It came with a strap and a book. The strap is OK but we didn't need it so it wasn't important if the strap was good or not.
Ease of Use
My only complaint was that the bridge was not on the banjo. Initially we didn't notice that the bridge was missing and we thought there was a defect in the banjo...but Zzounds saw the picture I sent them and drew our attention to the fact that the bridge was not on it. Duh! We feel really dumb! We should have noticed, but how often have you looked at something and not really seen it?
Quality
Good quality for the price you pay.
Manufacturer Support
My husband has a Fender guitar that he loves. We have not had to do business with Fender for any repairs.
