The familiar-felling thin mahogany neck is topped with an engineered wood fingerboard adorned with uniquely shaped deluxe pearl fancy floral inlays. The violin-shaped headstock also sports a pearl inlay and is complemented by die-cast tuners with pearloid buttons for smooth tuning and sharp looks. The B10-A American 5-string comes with an authentic Remo head that supports an ebony-tipped maple bridge to offer players pristine articulation. The B10-A's chrome armrest means you'll be pickin' and a grinnin' for hours in comfort. Rounding out the features is a Kershner-style tailpiece, D’Addario strings and a classic Sunburst gloss finish.

Washburn has been building banjos since the late 1800s. These instruments were considered some of the finest of their day. This heritage is not lost in the instruments they handcraft today. Pros and amateurs alike choose a Washburn for its outstanding tone, build and value.

      I am a beginner in every sense of the word. My first banjo was a Savannah I found in a barracks room... basically a toy. Learned a few rolls and Cripple Creek, so I guess you could say it's getting pretty serious. Didn't want to pony up for a real professional rig, and this B10 was right in the sweet spot price wise. Set it up today, and WOW. Great tone, beautiful craftsmanship, straight, strong. But then again, what do I know? I'm no expert.
