Vintage Vega Banjo Ukulele, 1927-1930, VGC

Description

Vintage Vega Banjo Ukulele, 1927-1930, VGC, plays and sounds great - just like you’d expect from a Vega of that era. There isn’t a ‘model’ stamp on this one or the other I own but it is closest to a Little Wonder in attributes - and that’s a good thing. These LW style banjo ukes are hard to find. Vega also made a lower quality banjo uke without those LW upgrades. Scale is 13 3/4” and neck width at the nut including binding is just shy of 1 1/4”, a comfortable neck width. Strung with Worth CL fluorocarbon strings. This uke has a vintage Presto Ideal tailpiece that goes amongst collectors from 5 to 5 and it suits this quality of uke well. 8” maple pot, ivroid bound maple neck, bone nut, Little Wonder style band/tone ring, original tuning pegs and what looks to be all original hardware. It has an ebony fingerboard with pearl position markers. The neck SN is 97480 and the pot is hard to discern (89_ _6 I believe) and is not an exact match. That first serial number dates this uke neck to 1930 - pot to 1927. Not ideal but the real deal nonetheless in terms of quality, tone and playability.
