My new Vega No. 2 arrived from Banjo.com a couple of days ago and it's a well-made, nice-toned banjo with a clean and elegant aesthetic. The action, as received, with its 5/8 inch Deering Smile bridge is acoustic-guitar-like low and I may purchase a 11/16 inch Smile bridge to raise the action just a bit for better right-hand clawhammer feel.

I'll post pictures, along with my thoughts about of this and the other banjos I've purchased over the last year-and-a-half of my Banjo Acquisition Syndrome affliction because, as we AGFers know, without pictures they don't exist.
