Product Overview
Washburn Americana B7 5-String Open Back Banjo, Natural Matte
Perfect for fans of folk music, old time music and claw-hammer style players, the the Washburn Americana B7 is a mahogany open back 5-string banjo. Similar in design to our open back banjos from the early 20th century, it features a Remo head for best tone, maple bridge with ebony tip for superb tone transfer and chrome die cast tuners for smooth tuning. The B7 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 & value.
