[Dixielandjazz] Vega Lute-shaped instruments

[Marvin Ipswich]

The following link illustrates Vega's "lute-mandolin".  Notice that they are
not just called "lutes" which, of course, would be incorrect.

I would suppose, that their line of guitars would have been labelled
"lute-guitars" to differentiate them from the other instruments they made in
this shape.

No matter what Condon referred to his instrument as, it was a "lute-guitar".
