Fender Banjo

What type of banjo should i get?

i am debating between a fender fb59 and a recording king rk-r60 and i need help deciding. any brand suggestions would be a great help though.

Fender!!!!!!! One of the best quality you can buy… I personally have a Fender guitar and my brother had over 40 different banjos well i have talked to him and he told me that Fender fb 59 is one of the best ones you can get, pricy but you pay the price for wood and quality, so he said to go for that one and you wont be disappointed… Have fun with a banjo.
