Deering Vega Banjos
The story of how Greg Deering came to own the 200-year-old vega trademark is one of childhood dreams and an unmissable opportunity.
Since that day in 1989, Deering has breathed new life into the Vega name, blending over a century of tradition with Deering's banjo building expertise, to create a range of heritage rich open back and longneck banjos that are as integral to the modern folk sounds of the Avett brothers as they were to Pete Seeger’s personal revolution. Surpassing early Vegas in quality parts and craftsmanship, the new Vega banjos by Deering blend the best of today’s technology with yesterday’s classic tones...and you get a lifetime warranty with each of them.
