I know this is going to attract all the old banjo jokes again, but seriously folks, a friend of mine is looking for one. He wants a 5-string, open-backed, long-neck Vega or Gibson. If anyone out there has one to sell or knows where there is one for sale, please leave a message here or pm me.

Many thanks
Marion

Contact Bill Sables-send him a pm. He is the best person I know who may be able to help. There will be others, but I don't know who.

Hi Leadfingers. Is that the guy who used to have a place in London - Great Russell Street, near the TUC?

In that case, I've done quite well picking up the trail again after a mere 30 years or so....
