Vega Model No. 2 Banjo - New

We are pleased to offer, brand new and just in, one of Vega's very best banjos.  This is a Model No. 2, beautifully crafted in California from top quality materials including a lovely curly Maple neck and AA Ebony fingerboard, and of course, the famous tubaphone tone ring to give the volume, clarity and complexity for which the best Vegas are known. Vintage creme colored neck bindings and decorative MOP headstock round out the classic look. Comes with a TKL hard case.

From the Deering/Vega website:

The tubaphone tone ring creates that unique Vega tone in this professional quality maple banjo. The Vega No.2 is a banjo made of top grade curly maple stained light amber and buffed to a high gloss. The dimensions of the neck are quite similar to the early Vega banjos - full, yet fast and comfortable. We make genuine Vega Tubaphone tone rings of brass to create a beautiful quality of tone and projection. We precisely fit the tubaphone tone ring to the 3-ply violin grade maple rim, which we also fit with a brass bracket band and frosted top head to create a crisp tone for all styles of music.

Whether you play old time, bluegrass, blues, classical, or compose your own music, the Vega No.2 offers a timeless classic reborn with traditional appearance, world renowned craftsmanship, and classic tone.
