Vega C-20 1937

This Vega model C-20 was offered as the smallest and lowest priced archtop in the Vega catalog up until a transition to larger bodied instruments in 1938-39. It measures 14 ¾” at the lower bouts and is similar in size to Gibson’s L-30 archtops. This has a carved spruce top, solid mahogany sides and a pressed laminated mahogany back.
