The Deering Vega Old Tyme Wonder is a thoughtfully crafted open-back banjo designed with clawhammer and old-time players in mind. Its lightweight build, scooped ebony fingerboard, and absence of a tone ring contribute to its warm, mellow tone—perfect for old-time string band music. Featuring a 12-inch three-ply violin-grade maple rim, it produces a deep, plunky sound that blends beautifully with fiddle and upright bass. The quarter-sawn maple neck, vintage Vega “D” profile, and high-quality hardware offer excellent playability and tuning stability. Made in the USA, it’s a reliable, well-balanced instrument that captures the soulful essence of traditional banjo music.
