Washburn B7 5-String Open-Back Banjo – Natural Matte
Washburn has been building banjos since the late 1800s, and their instruments were once considered some of the finest available. That heritage remains alive in the hand-crafted banjos they build today. Trusted by both professionals and amateurs, Washburn instruments are known for their tone, build quality, and value.
Perfect for fans of folk music, old-time traditions, and clawhammer-style playing, the B7 is a mahogany open-back 5-string banjo inspired by early 20th-century Washburn designs. With its Remo head for authentic tone, maple bridge with ebony tip for articulate note transfer, and chrome die-cast tuners for reliable tuning, the B7 captures classic banjo sound in a lightweight and comfortable package. Strung with D’Addario light gauge nickel strings and finished in natural matte, it’s a banjo built to last while delivering timeless tone.
