FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION...VERY nice circa 1924 Vega Tu-Ba-Phone M 10 15/16" (SN 63004) with closed end nuts. Gold Tone OT-800 long neck currently mounted but original tenor neck with numbered dowel stick included.
I'd prefer to trade for a 12 fret slot-head 000 or similar guitar. I will sell for $1000 shipped but all serious offers considered.
WILL SELL AS TENOR for $650 shipped in the USA...
Obviously the OT800 neck was not made for this pot, but it fits and plays surprisingly well. The heel is a tad too long and the dowel stick is just coyote ugly...but it does the job. With a heel trim and a dowel stick installation by a good luthier you'd have yourself an even cooler banjo (and it is pretty dadgummed cool right now!)
Features/hardware as follows:
- Very minimal pitting on original metal parts.
- Vintage Elton armrest
- Newish Kerschner tailpiece
- Sosebee compensated/slotted 11/16" submerged bridge
- Pre-EPA Weather King (two words) head
- Shubb long bar 5th string capo
- 5 Star planetary tuners
- Deering 5th string tuner
Includes elastic "hippie" capo and vintage "faux croc" soft case.
