Description

** SOLD** Vega longneck "folk" banjo from the 1960's. The SS-5 Folklore "Pete Seeger" Longneck Model 5 String Banjo, made in Boston, shaded maple finish, laminated maple neck and rim.

These banjos were typically tuned down to "E" in standard 5-string "G" tuning and were the result of Pete Seeger's need for a banjo that could comfortably accommodate the typical blues guitarist's penchant for that particular key!
