The Olde Tyme Wonder has a three-ply maple rim, rock maple neck with ebony fingerboard inlaid with mother of pearl dots, a peghead proudly adorned with the Vega name in white, and a subtlety elegant satin finish.
Intended to approximate the tone of calfskin without the mounting and maintenance inconvenience, the fiberskyn head gives the Olde Tyme Wonder the warm, round, more plunky sound eagerly sought after by frailing style banjoists. The traditional No-Knot tailpiece which places no downward pressure on the banjo strings like more modern tailpieces and lends the banjo the mellower, open, full tone favored by traditional clawhammer players. The single coordinator rod in the pot and the neck with a two-way adjustable truss rod allows the player to adjust the banjo's playability or action to suit his own style and taste.
The Olde Tyme Wonder lends itself well to all styles of traditional music be it Civil War Era, ragtime, or classic turn of the century parlor melodies. Its appearance makes it a natural choice for the re-enactment enthusiasts!
