B10

SKU: B10-A-U

The B10 is a 5-string banjo with a mahogany resonator finished in gloss sunburst for increased volume and projection. It features a mahogany neck topped with a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard featuring unique deluxe pearl inlays and die cast tuners for smooth tuning. An authentic Remo head supports an ebony tipped maple bridge for pristine articulation and a chrome armrest adds to playing comfort. The B10 is the perfect banjo for the budding Bluegrasser and will provide a lifetime of musical enjoyment. Comes strung with D’Addario strings. Washburn has been building banjos since the late 1800s. These instruments were considered some of the finest of their day. This heritage is not lost in the instruments we handcraft today. Pros & amateurs alike choose a Washburn for its outstanding tone, build, and value.
