Vega Little Wonder Tenor Banjo 1922

This 17-fret Little Wonder borders on Excellent condition, with some fret wear that will eventually need attention. Good news: it has a replacement Oettinger-style tailpiece; bad news: as you can see from the photo, a previous owner must have lost a screw on a gig and jerry-rigged it with a wood screw. It works fine, so I was never motivated to fix it.

The banjo is currently strung up for Irish playing, at which it excels: GDAE (low to high), medium gauge strings with a wound second. I've set it up in the past with lighter strings, and it works well, although I tend to prefer good intonation (which it has) over ease of playing.

It comes with what I believe to be the original case, a detachable armrest, and a (Yikes!) metal resonator from another Little Wonder.
