Sonny Smith has held his own in the Banjo world. Born in Winchester, Tennessee and growing up in Indiana, Sonny began playing the banjo at the young age of seven. At age ten, Sonny entered his first banjo contest, the Portland, Indiana Tri-State Gas Engine Show. After this first taste of the stage, he knew this is where he wanted to be. From that point on he was addicted to banjo contests, Sonny continued to enter several banjo contests throughout his years growing up. After high school, Sonny skipped the college route and continued to grow as a banjo player in the great state of Texas. There he first entered the National Banjo Competition in 1992, coming home with third place and again in 1997, coming home with second. Finally in 1998, Sonny came out on top and went home with the 1998 National Banjo Champion title. Now, Sonny Smith and Washburn Guitars have collaborated to create his own signature banjo, the B160. His model has been given a wider fretboard to accommodate bigger fingers, the 5th string nut had been moved between the 5th and 6th fret for improved tone, sustain and intonation. Currently, Sonny is spending his stage time in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains at Dolly Parton's Dollywood. You can catch Sonny playing his B160 in the Smoky Mountain String Band, during regular Dollywood operating season hours. All Washburn instruments are backed up with a limited lifetime warranty which pretty much guarantees that you will also be performing for years to come.Included FREE: "The Ultimate Fretted Tuning Chart"This chart contains 87 tunings (47 for guitar) for various common and hard to find instruments.

Most banjo players agree that the ideal bluegrass banjo was the flathead built in very limited quantities during the 1930's. To meet this demand and to offer it at a price any player could afford, Saga Musical Instruments introduced the original GF-100 banjo in the early 1970's. Ever since these banjos were discontinued in the late 1980's due to costly manufacturing methods in Japan, they have continued to be topics of discussion for their legendary sound and value. It's 2005 and the new Gold Star GF-100FE (Flying Eagle) is back and better than ever before. With close to 25 years to improve these already legendary instruments, we are sure you will agree that these banjos are the best value available on the market today! * Single piece die-cast flange * Triple nickel-plated hardware * Presto Tailpiece * P-142 geared fifth peg * P-140 geared planetary tuners * Hand-cut mother-of-pearl inlays carefully laid out in the "Flying Eagle" pattern on both the ebony fingerboard and peghead overlay * Deluxe re-issue Gold Star hardshell case * Shop Adjusted Minimize
