Vega Style R Whyte Ladie short scale 17 fret tenor banjo. This Style are has matching serial numbers on the persch pole and rim 79541 which dates it 1928. The banjo has had some fancy after market customisation on the headstock and fret board, also a custom added armrest. The banjo has been given a recent polish and setup by myself and plays and sounds really well.
