Ya hoo! The deepest-sounding, with the most versatile tonal range, of all the pre-war Vega banjos, the illustrious TU-BA-PHONE, as they spelled it. In the hippest rim size of all the variations, 10-15/16”, this one made in 1923 and mated to an original #2 Whyte Laydie neck of the same period. Original frets in fine condition; a thin coat of additional lacquer very professionally done on the neck, feels just right and looks like a million. The very best modern geared planetary tuning pegs, “Planet” by name, with matching geared fifth string peg. This is a hoot ’n a holler of an open back 5-string banjo, play all night, with or without a bottle in your hand. Comes with a cool gig bag too. $1895 w/bag
