The only difference between the B200 and many of their 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 70's, 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 Basswood Rim, Mahogany bowl and coated Remo Weather King head. Neck tension stays rock-solid throughout the seasons with the B200's dual coordinator rod.
