About Washburn B6

While Washburn's legacy in crafting high-quality banjos dates back to the late 1800s, their commitment to excellence remains evident in their modern creations. The Americana Series B6 6-String Open Back Banjo is a testament to this enduring quality, designed to deliver the distinctive banjo twang that both professional musicians and hobbyists seek.

The B6 is an open-back 6-string banjo, specifically tailored for guitar players. It offers the unique tonality of a banjo without requiring the time and effort to master a new instrument. The tuning mirrors that of a standard guitar, making it an accessible and appealing choice for guitarists looking to diversify their sound.

Constructed with a mahogany rim and neck, this banjo promises durability and a rich, resonant sound. The 22-fret rosewood fingerboard adds to the instrument's playability, while the smooth action diecast tuners ensure stable and precise tuning.

The B6 banjo stands out with its distressed Remo head, not only for its visually appealing aesthetic but also for its contribution to the instrument's warm, full-bodied tone. An ebony-tipped bridge is incorporated for optimal tone transfer, enhancing the overall sound quality.

Finally, the B6 comes pre-strung with D'Addario strings, known for their superior sound and longevity. The Americana Series B6 6-String Open Back Banjo with Remo Top, Mahogany Back and Sides, 22 Frets, Mahogany, Matte, Natural is a blend of tradition and innovation, offering an unmatched banjo experience.
