Fender Banjo Serial Numbers Kd
I live in Chicago, but a friend stumbled across a Fender banjo back home and is going to mail it to me. All I got from her were some awful cell phone pics (not worth posting) and a serial number that was on the back of the head stock. It reads 'Crafted in Korea KD01110855" I called a few shops local here, and even Fender...no one could give me any information. So now it's time to turn to the REAL experts, you guys! Any help would greatly be appreciated.
I posted earlier about inheriting that 64 Kay Bass, the Martin 00-18c, and an autoharp. The last item is a Fender 5 string banjo. The serial number is 04815 and just says "Artist". So I don't know what kind of artist model it is.
Fender made some of the best tone rings/bodies in the day. The best banjo player I know(his best friend is Alan Munde) plays a banjo he built from a fender body and a Baldwin neck. His is 65 and was a child star touring with Stringbean (who he learned banjo from)when he was a kid. He is one of those behind the scenes stars that has been a pro for 50 years.
