Vega VVS Vintage Star Banjo

A Vega Vintage Star is an openback banjo with a 12 inch pot and has the legendary Dobson tone ring patented in 1881 by Henry Dobson.

With proper head tension, this ring will improve your banjos sustain and resonance, without bright overtones of metal tone rings. Created from sheet brass, it is spun not cast which also makes the banjo lighter. Vega have done a great job and included the frailing scoop too.
