I don't think I've seen this style Vega before.

Seems like an arched top and back, rather than the noble hump-back or flat. Anyone here play a similar instrument -- perhaps one that hasn't suffered seam failure like this one?

I don't know that model but it has a 70's Japanese look to me from the photo.

It's not Japanese. The tuners obviously aren't original.

sold for $272
seems like an interesting piece worthy of restoration
perhaps similar to the Martin archtops
