Vega is a respected name in stringed instruments. This Boston company grew out of Julius Nelson’s cabinet-making operation, founded in 1881; Vega was incorporated in 1903. Vega is best know for its banjos (full disclosure: my first instrument was a Vega tenor banjo) but by 1930, it began to concentrate on guitars.
In 1936, Vega started an electric guitar line (with pickups designed by company president William Nelson). This electric lap steel probably dates from the 1950s and is very similar to a Alamo lap steel out of San Antonio, Texas.
