Please note!  The 12 inch version of the Vega White Oak Open Back is out of stock, but we still have several 11 inch models available. 

Here’s a new item – the Vega White Oak Open Back 12 Inch Banjo by Deering, also available with an 11 inch pot. This is a lightweight open back model with no exotic woods, just Oak and Maple.   Both the pot and the neck are White Oak,  with dark stained Maple used for the fingerboard and head plate.

Here’s Deering on the new Vega White Oak Open Back Banjo model:

“The Vega White Oak banjos are ideal for clawhammer and folk music and players will marvel at the bright tone and distinct note clarity from a banjo that weighs less than 6 pounds! “
