Ibanez returns with skill and passion to making traditional banjos.
The Ibanez B50 5-String Banjo, brings the nostalgic sound of bluegrass and folk to musicians at an accessible price point. After a 30-year hiatus, Ibanez has reentered the banjo market with a vengeance, crafting an instrument that delivers crisp tone and timeless design. The B50's mahogany back, sides and neck provide a warm, resonant foundation for the banjo's signature metallic ring. Open gear tuners keep all five strings in perfect pitch, while a rosewood fretboard offers comfort and style.
Meticulous 24-Lug Construction
The B50 features a carefully crafted 24-lug configuration to produce full, articulate tone across all five strings. Each component, from the mahogany rim to the rosewood bridge, is constructed with precision for optimal resonance and sustain. The result is a lively, responsive banjo that projects clearly in any playing situation.Vintage-Inspired Style
With nickel-plated tuners, wood construction and minimal ornamentation, the B50 nods to banjos of yesteryear. Its natural mahogany finish highlights the wood grain for an organic, earthy look. The simplistic design evokes memories of front porch jam sessions and lively bluegrass festivals. An included gig bag allows for easy transport of this stylish banjo to any location.Specifications
