The American made Vega Long neck, with it's three extra frets and low E tuning, is THE folk banjo of musicians like, the Kingston Trio, Pete Seeger, the Limelighters, etc. The low pitch, open E tuning is great for accompanying singers and is a thrill to play in any style. The neck and rim are maple, stained with a dark walnut stain. The Deering Tubaphone tone ring and heavy bracket band, are the heart of this beautiful sounding banjo. This is the orginal long neck banjo, not a copy. If you like singing while you play and enjoy 60's folk music, this banjo is the sound that made that era famous.
