It's been three decades since Ibanez was in the banjo biz, but we're back with a bang... or is it a twang? Old-timers may recall Ibanez was quite enamored with banjo-building, having even collaborated on an artist signature model with the late great Earl Scruggs. But, things change, and hair bands happen. And now, we're back at it, and in the Ibanez tradition, the B50 delivers a sweet 5-string closed-back banjo at a price that won't break the bank.

Ibanez's line of folk instruments combines classic craftsmanship and sophisticated modern technology, producing instruments of quality and integrity that offer professional features and great sound. These instruments are well-suited the aspiring player to the experienced musician looking to experiment with a new instrument and explore traditional sounds of American folk music.
