Features:
This Vega Old Tyme Wonder is for clawhammer style banjoists who
prefer plucking their banjos over the fingerboard where the pot and the
neck join. For greater comfort, Deering builds in a traditional “scoop”
that allows more room for the fingers and thumb of the right hand to
pluck the strings without hitting the fingerboard. The fingerboard
itself is made of hard, dense, colorful, exotic, naturally beautiful
ebony.
To re-create the old fashioned sound and appearance,
we install a classic “no-knot tailpiece,” a Fiberskyn head, and
Deering’s exclusive planetary tuning pegs for a traditional, old time
sound. This banjo’s rim and neck are based on the Vega Little Wonder,
but designed specifically for the old time players.
The
new Vega banjos are a culmination of years of evolution and
development. Surpassing early Vegas in quality and craftsmanship, the
new Deering Vega banjos blend the best of today’s technology with
yesterday’s classic tones. This Vega Old Tyme Wonder is a classic
example of that.
