Ibanez B50 Acoustic Guitar

The Ibanez B50 gives a sweet 5-string closed-back banjo at a price that won't break the series. It highlights a 24-lug configuration and mahogany back and sides. The mahogany neck has a rosewood fingerboard with dot point labels. Open gear tuners present a vintage scale while keeping things in tune. Purpleheart fretboard creates a rich midrange with a crunchy high end.

It's been three decades as Ibanez was in the banjo biz, but Ibanez is back with a blast or is it a twang? Old-timers may remember Ibanez was quite fascinated with banjo-building, having even co-operated on an artist signature pattern with the late great Earl Scruggs. But, things change and hair bands appear.
