Ibanez B200 5-string Resonator Banjo Reviews
The Ibanez B200 Banjo is a throwback to a simpler era - a time before countless hair bands put Ibanez on the map as a premier maker of metal weaponry. Yes, Ibanez was a highly respected banjo manufacturer, and even collaborated on a signature model with the late, great Earl Scruggs. Ibanez is back in the banjo biz. The B200 sports a basswood rim, a rolled-brass tone ring, and a toneful mahogany bowl. The smooth-playing neck, with its gorgeous pearl fingerboard inlay, also benefits from Ibanez's considerable experience in designing shredtastic guitars. Check out the Ibanez B200.

AWESOME
I have played Banjo longer than it sounds but I know quality when I play it and for $, you can't beat this. It has an amazing sound and it's a solid instrument. It's heavy too. I would have figured this to be in the range of $. If you are a beginner or an advanced player, buy this. It's worth every dime.
Make sure you get the Gator case, not the Epiphone case. The banjo won't fit.
A Phenomal Beauty!
This is an incredibly beautiful banjo! It's a gorgeously sounding, and very well built instrument. I love not only the rich sound from the resonator and wood tone ring… it's just instantly comfortable to have in your hands! A stunning instrument to own.
Geat Banjo!
This is my first banjo, thought I'd learn to play it since I've been playing guitar for years. This instrument is a beauty! And it's fun to play, looking forward to improving my skills!
Nicely done
Beautiful instrument and excellent customer service from Sweetwater. Received this Banjo in the mail via FedEx and the head stock was broke off. A little disappointed but not overly upset....Stuff happens you know.. I called Sweetwater's customer service and they immediately sent another one along with a return shipping label for the damaged one. I received the other one and I am truly happy with it and the hassle free Customer service.
Ibanez B200 Banjo
As far as the Banjo, I love it. Cosmetically, it is absolutely beautiful. Play ability is superb after setting it up. Delivery from Sweetwater was excellent as usual.
On the negative side, FEDEX delivered to the wrong address and left the box out in the rain. Have had issues with FEDEX before. Suggest using UPS.
The Banjos comes with no manual or instructions. Tried to find on line and that is almost impossible. Had to revert to YouTube which worked. Ibanez left the nut off of the tail piece screw and stuck it between the tail piece and the head. Any pressure during shipment could have punctured the head.
Aside from that Sweetwater has come through again with great product at a good price and fast delivery.
Great Banjo
From the moment I removed it from the box it was setup and basically ready to play! Sounds great and the customer service from Sweetwater is outstanding! I'd much rather buy from these guys then GC or any of those big box stores. Great Job Sweetwater, and Great job Clint for all the customer service you have provided over the years!
Beautiful banjo!
Love the banjo! Totally impressed with Sweetwater. Although when I ordered, I asked that it be signed for upon delivery but it was not!! I personally received it but the rude carrier just handed it to me & ran. I could have been anyone!
Definitely need to use a different carrier. Fed Ex is awful.
Completely satisfied with the banjo. Thank you Sweetwater!
