SOLD: Collings UT3MSB - European spruce top w/ figured maple body, tangerine sunburst

SOLDThis listing is for an incredible Collings UT3MSB ukulele with full tangerine sunburst. The body is premium Eastern maple and the top is an upgraded European spruce. The tangerine sunburst is just incredible and the instrument just glows and sparkles in the light. Bridge, fret board, and head plate are rare Madagascar rosewood. Peghed tuner (4:1 internally geared). Abalone rosette and tortoise binding. Savarez 150R strings. Serial number is 1382 and was completed on 1/9/2014. Condition is outstanding, with very few signs of use. Has been primarily used for finger picking, so no unsightly strum marks on soundboard. Always well cared for and kept properly humidified. Comes with Collings hardshell case (by Ameritage), and an Oasis ukulele humidifier.

I had originally listed this for sale earlier this year, but withdrew the listing, thinking I would be able to keep it. Unfortunately, I've got to let it go to help pay for a custom build that is nearing completion. I've loved this instrument, though, and consider it to be of rare character and quality - one of the best I've owned over the years. It's an outstanding player with an unusually warm tone for a maple instrument. Very articulate with excellent clarity and response.

Price is $, and includes insured shipping within the U.S. and PayPal fees. I always use a fast shipping rate to reduce time in transit. I will also throw in an Oasis ukulele humidifier. If email works better, I can be reached at sjshiner@msn.com. Please get in touch with any questions and thanks for looking!

Here are a couple of samples I made several months back. The recording quality is mediocre at best, and the playing about as good as the recording quality. In person, it really rings with that great open Collings tone.

Also, here's a link to the original listing on Acoustic Music Works with more photos.
