1926 Vega Style N

Serial # 71304. It's not common to encounter simply appointed tenor banjos that have not been badly handled over the years. This Vega Style N is a definite exception to the rule though - and we're pleased to offer it to you. Although the Style N is not a lavish instrument, it is very much a quality banjo. The rim is 5-ply maple and 9/16" thick, 11" wide, and has 26 brackets. All nickel plating is intact and in good shape, and all of the brackets are original. The Rogers velum head is also in perfect condition - and the names of some of the banjo's past owners have been inked on the underside. The neck and frets are pretty much perfect, the action is comfortable, and the set up is spot on. The original tuners work well to boot. Finally, the original case is in equally fine condition, and the original Vega bracket wrench is included! This is a fine vintage banjo, and a great sounding one too.
