Washburn B6 Americana 6-String Banjo Review

The Washburn B6 Americana 6-String Banjo combines familiar guitar playability with the character of a traditional banjo. Its 25.5 inch scale and 22 fret fingerboard give guitarists a familiar feel, while the mahogany rim and neck add warmth to the instrument's overall response. The distressed Remo head helps produce a fuller, warmer tone, and the ebony tipped bridge provides solid transfer of vibration for a clear and balanced response. Die-cast tuners help keep tuning steady, making the B6 a practical instrument for practice, recording, and live playing. Its 11 inch rim, 24 bracket tension hoop, 6 string tailpiece, and chrome armrest complete a design made for players who want classic banjo flavor without giving up the familiarity of a guitar.
