I picked up a 1928 Vega Little Wonder with a Wyatt Fawley neck, and its simply wonderful.
Wyatt Fawley makes some excellent Vega repro necks - or at least he used to...is he still working?

I had an old Vega tu-ba-phone tenor conversion with one of his necks - all out inlays, gryphon head stock....wonderful workmanship.
