This Bright Angel is something to behold - look at the detailing! The artistry is matched by its playabilty and sound. One look at the detail, fit and finish of this banjo shows why Ome is regarded as one of the finest banjo makers today. The fretwork is impeccable. The peghead, fingerboard and rim are all ivoroid bound, and the rim is ivoroid capped as well. The 12" rolled brass tone ring gives this beauty increased response and plenty of sweet-sounding "cluck" if you want it. The inlays are "out of this world". This is one of the finest open-backs we've seen.

The new Vega Little Wonder is a remarkable achievement in blending a versatile, bright, responsive banjo with a very modest price. The sound of this banjo is ideal for old time music, both finger style and clawhammer, folk, classical, civil war era, ragtime and for classic turn of the century parlor music. (Nylon or gut string banjoists will find the response and character of this banjo appropriate for their styles) It is also a perfect choice for any player who wants a powerful, versatile banjo that is not too heavy. (Try this one with a few bluegrass licks and you'll see what we mean by versatile). The Little Wonder has a deep warm brown stained, three-ply rock maple rim and a rock maple neck. The satin finished neck is fitted with an ebony fingerboard, inlaid with mother-of-pearl dots. The rim has 24 brackets mounted on traditional bracket shoes.
