Vega Fairbanks Regent 5-String Openback Banjo, 1913

The 1913 Fairbanks/Vega Regent is more than an instrument—it is a piece of American string music heritage. Unlike later, heavier resonator banjos, this openback model delivers a dark, vintage, and distinctly old-time sound that cannot be replicated by modern instruments. It features the legendary Vega neck construction, capable of handling steel strings, combined with a beautiful pre-war aesthetic. This Regent banjo is a time capsule ready to be played and cherished for another century.
