Description

This is an all-original Vega banjo featuring the original hardware and neck and comes with its original "alligator" case. This instrument is ideal for a collector or player interested in restoring a piece of banjo history. Its originality makes it a desirable candidate for restoration, increasing its value. The head stock appears intact with the original Vega logo, though some wear and age-related patina are visible. The rim and resonator show some surface wear, typical of a banjo from this era. Its hardware is intact but has some signs of oxidation and age. The tension hoop and brackets are original but show signs of rust and potential corrosion, which might require cleaning or replacement. The fret board looks aged but appears structurally sound, though fret wear could need attention. The case shows signs of age with some scuffs and wear but is structurally sound, offering a good vintage storage option.
