Vega Old Tyme Wonder Banjo Natural
Clawhammer style banjoists tend to prefer plucking their banjos over the fingerboard where the pot and the neck join. For greater comfort, Deering builds in a traditional "scoop" that allows more room for the fingers and thumb of the right hand to pluck the strings without hitting the fingerboard. To re-create the old fashioned sound and appearance, we install a classic "no knot tailpiece," a fiberskyn head, straight back planetary tuning pegs and a traditional, old timey sound.
