Created in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, the limited-edition Ibanez BA250 combines bold patriotic styling with the bright, articulate sound players expect from a traditional 5-string banjo. An American eagle design decorates the headstock and resonator, while star-shaped fingerboard inlays complete its distinctive commemorative appearance.
The BA250 pairs a walnut resonator with a rolled tone ring to produce clear note definition, lively response, and plenty of projection. Whether playing in a bluegrass ensemble, performing onstage, or practicing at home, its crisp voice helps rolls, melodies, and rhythmic patterns remain present and well defined.
A slim okoume neck provides a comfortable playing feel, while the purpleheart fingerboard offers a smooth foundation for everything from traditional picking patterns to fast runs and expressive lead work. Reliable appointments include chrome Ibanez tuners, a 24-bracket rim design, and a purpleheart and maple bridge.
Produced in limited quantities, the Ibanez 250th USA Anniversary BA250 is both a capable performance instrument and a memorable commemorative piece for players and collectors.
