My Old Vega

Sunday, August 22, 2010

A couple of years ago I bought a banjo from Billy Lee, the legendary Missouri fiddler who taught Johnny Hartford. Billy is a fiddle maker, and had this nice-looking banjo for sale. It is a 1925 Vega "Little Wonder" pot with a conversion 5-string neck by Billy Lee. The original 4 string tenor banjo neck came with it. Serial no. 66044. I had it set up by Colin Blair at Music Folk in St. Louis, got a nice hard case for it. Just wondering what it might be worth if I wanted to sell it. I have my hands full w/ guitar and fiddle.
