Washburn B10 Banjo

The Washburn B10 5-String Banjo elevates the traditional closed-back design with ornate visual craftsmanship and high-fidelity projection.

Ornate Style & Enhanced Acoustics

The defining trait of this instrument is its upscale visual presentation, highlighted by deluxe, fancy floral pearl inlays across the 22-fret fingerboard. 

Beneath the decoration, the tone is driven by an authentic Remo head resting over a mahogany resonator back and sides. 

This assembly reflects the sound waves forward to maximise volume. 

To capture a bright, snappy attack with minimal dampening, the strings sit on a maple bridge topped with a hard ebony strip, translating rapid fingerpicking rolls into clean acoustic notes.

Standard Scale & Reliable Mechanics

The playability centers on a full-size 27.5-inch scale length mahogany neck that gives the strings a firm, responsive tension. 

The fingerboard is built from smooth engineered wood, providing an even playing surface from the headstock to the body joint. 

Tuning adjustments are handled by smooth, robust die-cast gears on the headstock that maintain tension through long sessions. 

For protection and aesthetic depth, the entire back of the resonator is sealed in a rich sunburst gloss finish, while an integrated chrome armrest keeps the player's forearm comfortable during heavy picking.
