This is a copy of a Vega Tub-a-phone open back. Early 70's. Chrome plating.Tone ring is a well-made copy of Vega's. Neck: 2 piece mahogany with black stripe. 27" scale (Vega). Small frets. Rosewood FB, diamond inlays, black behind ivoroid binding, side dots. Follows Vega profile, except has thumb stop, and working truss rod. Planetary tuners with finger adjustment of screws. Geared 5th. Bone nut, 1-3/16" at nut. Action easily adjustable. "Tone is quite good. One of the best sounding Tub-a-phones I have heard. Clear, crisp, and bright up and down the neck" I could include a nice gig bag with it, but I don't have a hard shell case that fits it exactly. The one I have is a little large
It is strung with nylon strings at the moment but it sounds fine with both steel or nylon. I used to have steel on it.
