Washburn B6 Banjo

The Washburn B6 6-String Banjo is a unique, open-back instrument handcrafted by a company that has been building world-class banjos since the late 1800s.

Seamless Guitar to Banjo Transition

Chosen by professionals and amateurs alike for its outstanding tone, reliable construction, and exceptional value, this instrument allows guitarists to effortlessly add an authentic banjo character to their musical palette.

The Washburn B6 6-String Banjo is designed specifically for guitar players looking for additional tonal options and that classic banjo twang.

Because it is tuned exactly the same as a standard guitar, it offers an immediate and familiar playing feel, removing the need to learn a completely new instrument. 

The neck is carved from mahogany and features a comfortable 25.5-inch scale length with an engineered wood fingerboard, allowing players to utilise their existing chord shapes and fingerpicking patterns seamlessly.

Rich Tonewoods & Warm Tonal Transfer

Built for excellent acoustic projection, the Washburn B6 6-String Banjo features a robust mahogany rim and matching mahogany sides. 

It comes equipped with a visually striking, distressed Remoî head that looks cool while delivering a noticeably warmer, fuller tone. 

To maximise acoustic performance, the strings rest upon an ebony-tipped bridge, which provides the best transfer of tone into the body. 

Tuning stability is managed via smooth-action, die-cast tuners that ensure reliable pitch accuracy during extended playing sessions.
