It's been three decades since Ibanez was in the banjo business, but the'yre back with a bang (or is it a twang?) with the B200. 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.Now, with the Ibanez B200 you get a sweet 5-string closed-back banjo at a price that wont break the bank. It features a rim with 24-lug configuration, a rolled brass tone ring and resonator. The neck has a fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlay. Chrome banjo tuners lend a vintage note while keeping things in tune.
