Vega Resonator Tenor Banjo This is a 1921 Style N Vega Resonator tenor banjo. It is in very good playable condition. Like most vegas it has a god pot construction and tone ring, well-constructed rim and interesting pie-shape resonator. The original geared grover tuners work quite well. The 19-fret fingerboard and frets are in excellent condition. The neck is very straight. The flange consists of individual nickle-plated brass pieces. The 11" head is an original skin in excellent condition. A new reissue nickel-plated vega-style armrest has been added. This banjo has a great old-time sound and excellent set-up. A break in the heel was repaired 5 years ago in an excellent manner and is hardly noticeable. This banjo will be supplied with a vintage hardshell case. The sound sample is Cumberland Gap played in Chicago Tuning DGBE. Some well-known Irish banjo players prefer 17-Fret necks. Upon request, this banjo can be provided as a CELTIC TENOR BANJO at an additional charge of $20. The nut and bridge will be modified and a new set of Irish Tenor Strings (.014 .024w .032w .042w) will be installed. Price: $795.00 + Shipping
