A custom order from the Vega factory, this is an original 12-string, three course banjo mandolin, probably made for Sicilian style mandolin playing. Features a solid mahogany neck, equipped with an extra long peghead w/ ebonized pearwood overlay, RARE 6-per-plate open geared tuners, maple pie-plate resonator, original wire armrest, original mandolin tailpiece. This one-of-a-kind instrument, the only example we've ever seen, comes with its original hardcase.
