I apologize in advance if I am incorrect with the information below, but I am fairly confident in my observations, and thus this 'buyer beware' post...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I do not think that the uke in the photos is in fact the KA-ATP-CTG-CE which is the page you linked to.

This uke you have in the photos indeed has a cutaway, but is LACKING the red Padauk accents that are in fact the flagship visual features of the KA-ATP-CTG-CE.

Instead, YOUR uke in the photos have a different binding on it's edge.

See here:

KA-ATP-CTG-CE, notice the RED Padauk wood accents:


notice the LACK of red Padauk accents in the uke you have in your pictures:


The model that you have in your photos is more likely a spruce top and NOT the cedar topped KA-ATP-CTG-CE, and is maybe one of these:

KA-STGE-C, from http://www.kalabrand.com/ukulele/solid-spruce-mahogany



Also the fret marker dots on the fretboard are different on the KA-ATP-CTG-CE than on the uke in your photos and the photo of your uke that I am showing in this post.

So for all those looking to buy a KA-ATP-CTG-CE, it seems to me that this uke for sale is NOT a KA-ATP-CTG-CE, but something else.

I would ask the seller to enclose or add to this thread a close-up photo of the makers label/sticker that is inside the sound hole, which should have to proper model number printed on it.

Caveat Emptor!

The OP's pics are of Kala's Marcy Marxer model, which is no longer made.

It seems you are correct and have better eyes and patience in searching than I do. Thanks for the clarification.

Hopefully all those folks who have raced in with offers to buy via PM are still looking at this thread so they can see what in fact they are buying, which is NOT a KA-ATP-CTG-CE as per the photos from the seller.

I am very sorry, that is my mistake. I thought that this was the KA-ATP-CTG-CE model, but instead it is a similar, older model.
