Details
The combination of an almost-12" head, and an old skin head at that, gives this short-neck tenor a wonderful meaty tone with lots of bottom end. Neck is very straight and the short 20 7/8" string scale makes this easy to play. The Vega resonator is later than the neck and shell, and for a lower model, but everything is Vega and it works well. Tailpiece is missing the hinged cover. Condition of the finish on the neck and shell is excellent, as is the nickel plating throughout. Original hardshell case, too.
