This Fairbanks Regent 5-string banjo carries the legacy of one of America’s most iconic banjo names. The Regent model has been a classic choice for players seeking traditional tone and playability since the original A.C. Fairbanks Company introduced it in Boston in the late 1890s.

This banjo also needs a complete refret. With serial number 18762, this instrument features a modern serialization format that distinguishes it from the original vintage Fairbanks/Vega Regents. This suggests it is a reissue or contemporary instrument bearing the historic Fairbanks Regent name and design.

The banjo showcases the classic Regent styling that has made it popular among folk, bluegrass, and old-time musicians. Whether you’re a player looking for a trusted instrument with vintage aesthetics or a collector interested in the evolution of the Fairbanks name, this Regent offers the timeless appeal of one of banjo history’s most recognized models.

Features traditional 5-string open-back construction suitable for a variety of playing styles. The Regent has long been valued for its solid tone, reliable playability, and classic American banjo character.OHSC
