Description
In 1970, the Vega Company of Boston sold to Martin Guitars who later sold the name to an Asian Company. They later, I don't remember the year sold the name to Deering. The banjos hand made by Boston Vega were some of the best that the world has ever seen. The early Martin/ Vegas were also well made. These instruments are highly sought after.Perhaps the most visible Vega instrument in the 1950s and 60s was the long neck 5-string banjo designed and used by folk singer Pete Seeger, and later by several folk groups like The Kingston Trio and The Limeliters. Martin also used the Vega name for a line of strings.
