5/29/2020 Deering Vega Serial Numbers
The serial number on your Deering banjo will tell you when it was made and if the neck of your banjo matches the pot of your banjo. The last 4 digits are a neck number. These digits should match the 4 digits found on the back of the peghead of your banjo. The other digits in the serial number can tell you when your banjo was made.

I have a Deering Sierra banjo which I bought used. The guy I bought it from did not know the year it was made. (He bought it used and never asked.) Does anyone know how to date a Deering Sierra from the serial number?

Call Carolina Bridges at Deering is the easiest way.

What's the serial number?
I have the formula at home but could probably tell you by the number. - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - Bluegrass -- THE Original Country Music!

The last two numbers of the first seven are the year of production (in other words, numbers in the sixth and seventh position).

quote:Originally posted by majorwoody75006 Thanks, Woody. I had googled for that information to no avail, but with your help I was able to refine my search and confirm, sort of, what you said. In this interview with Janet Deering: http://www.ibluegrass.com/vi_posting3.cfm?p__i=834 Janet says: ![]() In my case there are actually eight digits preceding the four on the peghead. And the last two are 03, which means it's a 2003.

I've also had the neck off my Deering, and the month and year is hand penceled on the heal cut-out surface of the neck. Dean ![]()
