If you want I can roll this one down a hill, jump on it, and wear down the neck and frets, then lose the bridge and put a cookie cutter bridge in place with a plastic skin and Then I will only charge $300.

     This All original antique Vega Little wonder Mando Banjo has the original Hyde skin along with the original hand carved compensated Maple bridge that has never been sanded or shaven down. The original bone nut shows Zero wear and has never been adjusted for proper height over the 1st Fret. The Frets show almost Zero Wear same with the Ebony Fret Board, no nail gouges or wear down. The back of the neck is smooth as glass and shows no wear. The Neck wood is 100 year old Canadian Maple with an ebony strip and Heel Cap. The ebony Overlay has a few Hairline Cracks that I put some Tite Bond in them and it Closed them up. The Overlay is too thick and almost all of these did this. This one has kept the entire Overlay intact and is in Real nice shape otherwise. The Wood ring/body is in really good shape inside and outside. The only real Dings or marks are on the back edge of the wood ring body. Because it hasn't had a case it is always set down on that part, but again isn't that bad at all. Because she has never been set up the strings do sit a little high, the neck is straight and has no set issues due to its design. I am leaving it in this Original condition because this one is a good one to collect like that. If you plan to play it, I can set it up for you at no Charge and I will Give this beauty the best set-up possible with killer Sweet & Low Action No Problem!!
Thanks!
