VEGA became part of the Martin Company in 1970 and was acquired by what is now Deering around 1985. Since then, it has continued to produce banjos, albeit in limited numbers, up to the present day. This OLD TYME WONDER model evokes the early 1900s, the heyday of open-back banjos.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe fingerboard from the 17th fret onward is designed with a low profile, making it ideal for crowhammer playing. While the overall design is vintage in style, it is crafted with functionality in mind.\u003cbr\u003e \nOpen-back banjos of this solid construction are rarely found in Japan, so if you’ve been searching for one, don’t miss out on this opportunity! Comes with the original hard case.\u003cbr\u003e \nWhile it has minor dents, some tarnish on the metal-plated parts, and minor wear, its playability and tone are excellent.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: Approx. 90 degrees of play remaining when tightening \/ Sufficient play remaining when loosening\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Condition: No issues\u003cbr\u003e \nFrets: Approximately 80% remaining\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Original hard case\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Has some minor scratches, but is in good condition for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, or other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
