As I mentioned in this thread, I wanted to share a new resource I found.
http://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/showthread.php?103391-Vintage-Gibson-NUD
"The Gibson" was purchased from David Graves of "Legendary Ukuleles".
https://www.legendaryukuleles.com
David grew up in Hawaii and now lives in Wisconsin. He collects and plays ukuleles as a way to keep the memories of the Islands fresh. He is a collector rather than a dealer. What you see on his site is his personal collection, which represent some amazing examples of rare vintage Hawaiian and Mainland ukuleles.
David was amazing to deal with. We talked ukes for a bit and I told him what I was interested in. He said he would pull out the ones I was curious about, would play them all over the course of an hour and would get back to me with his feedback regarding tone and playability. There was no hard sell and David was very invested in helping me find a special uke.
I'm always eager to pass on a great resource. If you are in the market for a vintage uke you should get in contact with David. If not, still check out his site to see some amazing ukuleles.
