Made in Japan

In excellent condition and includes Hardcase

Plays and sounds great

The 1970s Ibanez Artist 5-String Banjo is a highly regarded vintage instrument manufactured in Japan during the famed "lawsuit era". These banjos were built in direct competition with Gibson Mastertone models. Because Gibson's production quality declined during the 1970s under Norlin ownership, Japanese manufacturers like Ibanez stepped in to create highly accurate, often superior "Masterclones"

Design & Construction: Built to emulate premium American instruments, they typically feature a flathead tone ring, full flange, bracket band, and multi-ply maple rims
Wood Profiles: Crafted with a mahogany neck, paired mahogany resonator. Necks usually feature a medium soft "V" profile that players praise for fast, comfortable playability

Mother-of-pearl "Wreath" pattern fingerboard inlays

Hardware: Outfitted with robust chrome-plated hardware, a fiddle-shaped peghead, and durable original tuners
