Hi All -
Was watching this on ebay.
I ended up not bidding but was somewhat interested.
I have seen a couple of Vega console type steels listed on various sites.
Does anyone have experience with these? Are they good?
I understand they used some kind of humbucking pickup.
Thanks!
CSL. |

Michael,
I know that some of the Vega steels had dual coil pickups, but were they actually wired out of phase so as to cancel out hum? |

| Boy.. this thread brought back memories.. My first professional guitar was a double neck Vega about a 1947 that my folks bought me. I went to Boston playing on radio station WJDA Quincy Mass. Sorry to say it was stolen from me in Boston , the later part of 1948.Hungry I decided to join the Airforce.. Ahhh Good and Bad Memories.. Lee |
