ACHIEVEMENT
The new Vega Little Wonder is a remarkable achievement in blending a
versatile, bright, responsive banjo with a very modest price. The sound of
this banjo is ideal for old time music, both finger style and clawhammer,
folk, classical, civil war era, ragtime and for classic turn of the
century parlor music. (Nylon or gut string banjoists will find the
response and character of this banjo appropriate for their styles) It is
also a perfect choice for any player who wants a powerful, versatile banjo
that is not too heavy. (Try this one with a few bluegrass licks and you'll
see what we mean by versatile.) This banjo is an upgraded version of some
of the early economy oriented Vega banjos.
CONSTRUCTION
The Little Wonder has a Warm Brown Stain, multiply rim and a rock maple
neck also finished in a Warm Brown Stain finish. The satin finished neck
is fitted with an natural ebony fingerboard, inlaid with mother of pearl
dots. Many of the older Vega models in this range were made with softer
wood fingerboards We use natural ebony fingerboards for this outstanding
banjo. We think you'll agree the tone and playability are worth the
effort. The rim has 24 brackets mounted on traditional bracket shoes. The
pot has one lower coordinator rod that easily and accurately adjusts the
banjo's "action" or playability.
PEGHEAD
The peghead of the rock maple neck is overlaid with black and there is a
white Vega logo adorning the peghead. Planetary tuning machines are used
on the new Little Wonder. We put on a geared fifth string tuning machine
for stability and ease of tuning. (Friction pegs may be traditional, but
they aren't as enjoyable or practical to use.) The neck also has a two way
adjustable truss rod that allows you, the artist, to adjust the banjos
playability or action to your own style and taste.
OVERVIEW
Thus, the new Vega Little Wonder is the culmination of years of evolution
and development, producing a powerful, folk and early style banjo that is
as at home in today's music as it was in years past. Surpassing early
Vegas in quality parts and craftsmanship, the new Little Wonder blends the
best of today's technology with yesterdays classic tone.
WARRANTY
The Vega Little Wonder banjo is made in the U.S.A. and comes with a
life-time warranty.
