Ibanez BA250 United States 250th Anniversary Limited Edition Resonator Banjo, Purpleheart Fingerboard, America 250

From front-porch picking to festival stages, the banjo has long been a defining voice in American roots music. The Ibanez BA250 resonator banjo marks the 250th anniversary of the United States with a limited-edition design that channels that tradition through bold Americana styling and classic banjo character. Built around a poplar block rim with a rolled tone ring, it delivers a lively, articulate response with plenty of projection and snap. A walnut veneer resonator featuring an eagle graphic and abalone purfling gives the instrument its striking visual identity, while an okoume neck and purpleheart fingerboard provide a smooth, comfortable playing feel. Traditional details like chrome friction tuners and a purpleheart/maple bridge complete a design that feels rooted in folk tradition while remaining approachable for modern players.
