Banjo
Bluegrass. Personified.
The name Vega has been synonymous with fine quality-crafted banjos since 1889. Martin selected a long lasting nickel/steel alloy for its tonal qualities and smooth consistency making these strings ideal for all styles of banjo playing.
Vega Nickel Wound
Martin Vega Banjo strings are made with tin-plated steel core wire and nickel alloy wrap wire.
