With an aged look to match its classic tone, the Washburn B120 offers all the best of Washburn's 125 year legacy of excellence.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Maple neck Bright tone, full sustain and strength
Maple resonator Long sustain, good projection, bright tone
Remo banjo head Consistent tone, long life
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel

Washburn has given the B120 a distressed or "aged" appearance so that it has all the looks and tone of a 100 year old banjo. With it's maple resonator, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, this matte finished beauty has a vintage vibe. The rolled brass tone ring is beautifully detailed with very fine scrolling work. Combine that with the Ivory machine heads, old school neck inlays, and bronze plated hardware and you're ready for some serious pickin'.

Part of Washburn's 125th Anniversary.

Sound
over all this is a good banjo for the money !
Features
the sound is great it doesnt have that really high tinney sound , it sounds more like the rolled brass types , it came with an awesome hardshell case that has already proved its salt !
Ease of Use
The Banjo plays quite well and the action right out of the box was not too bad at all !
The Wow Factor
it does look as if it is already a hundred years old , something like my grandfather would have handed down ! i was not a beleive until i saw it for myslef !!
