The B6 is an open back (6 String) banjo aimed at guitar players who don't have the time or inclination to learn a new instrument, yet still crave that good ole banjo twang. Tuned the same as guitar, it features a mahogany rim, mahogany neck with 22 fret rosewood fingerboard and smooth action diecast tuners for tuning stability. The distressed Remo head looks cool and has a warmer, fuller tone. It supports an ebony tipped bridge for best transfer of tone. The B6 comes with D'Addario strings.
