Built around a mahogany body, neck, and resonator, the B9-WSH-A is a right-handed five-string resonator banjo in Washburn’s Americana Series. Its Remo top, aluminum rim, 11-inch grooved tension hoop, and maple bridge form the working hardware, while the rosewood fingerboard carries 22 frets over a 21.5-inch scale. A chrome armrest and geared planetary fifth-string tuner round out the setup.
