Details ... The vega-style dowel-stock neck braces were out-of-production back then. Bart had some made especially for his work. The old ones bear his mark ... How cool is that?

Thanks for posting those great pictures, John. I was hoping to see these banjos at some point. They have found the right home.

John- I love the neck yoke. Such details are what define a great maker, IMO.
