With a warm, round tone and approachable, lightweight feel, the Vega Old Tyme Wonder is the perfect choice for old-time open-back banjo. Ideal for Clawhammer or trailing (with a scooped neck to boot), the Old Tyme Wonder shines whenever a warmer, more resonant banjo sound is desired. Built in California by Deering Banjos, this 5-string open-back model features a 12" three-ply violin-grade maple rim with a Fiberskyn head to deliver that richer, old-timey sound that makes fiddlers grin and bass players nod approvingly. Finished in a hand-rubbed amber stain and satin lacquer, the Old Tyme Wonder has a timeless aesthetic to match its vintage-inspired tone. With Deering’s patented “no-knot” tailpiece, a Quartersawn Maple neck, 5/8" bridge, a 1-1/4" nut width, and precise Planetary tuning pegs, the Old Tyme Wonder is built to play to its full potential. But the bigger 12" pot and Fiberskyn head lend an authentic traditional tone that harkens back to the early days of the 5-string banjo. The Old Tyme Wonder produces a rich, full-bodied voice with old-school character. The slim, scooped maple neck features an ebony fingerboard and a graceful frailing scoop that invites melodic expression beyond the 17th fret. Lightweight, comfortable, and beautifully made, this Vega will impress anyone looking for traditional open-back tone. 12" 3-ply violin-grade maple rim Fiberskyn head 1-1/4" Ebony Nut 5/8" Deering Bridge Scooped ebony fingerboard Quarersawn Maple neck with amber satin finish No-knot tailpiece Vega-style armrest Planetary tuners with Pearl buttons Made in the USA Includes Vega hardshell case If you’re looking for a banjo that feels like an old friend from the first strum, the Old Time Wonder is ready to join your jam.
