Over 100 years of Vega tradition and Deering’s innovative approach to banjo crafting went into the creation of this Vega Bluegrass Senator model. Fashioned as a bluegrass banjo with spun brass hoop and rod tonering, a rich warm brown stained rock maple neck with adjustable truss rod and a multi-ply rim with dual coordinator rods; the Senator has the time-honored Vega peghead profile. The hard, dense, colorful, exotic and naturally beautiful ebony fingerboard is inlaid with mother-of-pearl dots, and a Vega star at the fifth fret. The exclusive Deering planetary pegs give the player tight and precise tuning. The frosted top head and Deering tailpiece enhance the sound of this banjo, characterized as a full woody tone with beautiful sparkle of clarity and note definition as desired by bluegrass players. This Vega Bluegrass Senator is what many bluegrass players are looking for, it’s a lightweight banjo, only 7 pounds, with just the right amount of sparkle; one that beckons the traditional player to pick it up for maximum comfort and sound. This banjo also comes with a FREE Deluxe Deering hardshell banjo case!
