Vega tradition and Deering's innovative approach to banjo crafting meet in the Vega Senator model. The spun brass tone ring gives it a bright yet warm tone that’s ideal for old time, folk, and Civil War music. The Senator has the time honored vintage Vega peghead profile, a rich warm brown stained maple neck with an adjustable truss rod, and a 3-ply rim with dual coordinator rods. The hard, dense ebony fingerboard is inlaid with pearl dots, and a Vega star at the fifth fret. This openback banjo has the ease of playability and the light weight desired by many banjo players, without sacrificing sound quality and sustain.
