DISC Epiphone MB-250 Banjo Overview
The Epiphone MB-250 5-string banjo is a professional grade instrument with classic styling that reflects Epiphone's 80-year history as a leader in banjo design. At the height of the banjo era in the 1920's, Epiphone had 11 different banjos in production and many of his patents are still in use today and can still be found in our professional banjo line.

View Full DescriptionA Historic Epiphone Classic
The MB-250 features a Maple 5-ply resonator, a one piece flange, a brass tone rim, and a classic USA Remo banjo head. Remo has been the standard for banjo heads for over 3 generations and is a perfect compliment to the MB-250's Maple resonator for rich and balanced tone. The hard Maple bridge has Ebony string caps and an Ebony saddle.
The 26.25" scale Mahogany neck is mounted with "Dual Coordinator Rods," which is the preferred method for professional banjo necks. The MB-250's Rosewood fingerboard has a 1.25" nut, mother-of-pearl heart and flower inlays including an "Epiphone" inlay at the 20th fret where the neck joins the body, and a beautifully ornate headstock with a vintage mother-of-pearl inlay arrangement.
Hardware you can trust
Vintage banjos suffer from the wear and tear of a century of playing and the hardware often suffers the most. Epiphone?s newly designed nickel tuners, designed at Epiphone in Nashville, TN provide solid tuning and reliability.
