SKU: UBB33631
UBB33631 Vega rises again. The Vega Company of Boston, Ma. was one of the most respected names in old timey circles. The company was bought out by C.F. Martin in the 1970s, and later sold to Galaxy Trading Co. of Korea. Players mourned the loss of the highly desirable Vega designs until the Deering Company acquired the rights to the name in the mid '80s. Deering began producing instruments with the time honored designs and players were overjoyed to see instruments re-appear in some of their favorite styles. This example has been lovingly maintained with the natural Maple neck and Tubaphone tone ring harkening back to the golden years of Vega. With hard case. more information »
