Yes, Ibanez is back in the banjo biz in a big way, and the B200 is proof that they're here to stay. The only difference between the B200 and many of the vintage banjos on the auction sites is a layer of dust. The tree-of-life fretboard inlay, the pearl headstock design with its authentic behind-the-head tuners all harken back to the late 70s, when the company's artist roster included the legendary Earl Scruggs.

But when you hear this full-bodied instrument is when you'll be convinced that Ibanez isn't resting on its old school laurels. The B200's rich voice is directly attributable to a combination of its poplar block rim, sapele veneer Resonator, Brass Tone Ring and coated Remo Weatherking head. Neck tension stays rock-solid throughout the seasons with the B200's dual coordinator rod.
