It makes me quite sad to post this, but I have to let this one go.
The only reason I'm selling this is because I've been diagnosed with a probable onset of osteoarthritis in my hands (I hope that it's not) and the thicker neck of the Gretsch does not agree with my fretting hand. It's similar to a Pono for reference, whereas I prefer the really thin neck of Martins. I hope this can bring the same joy to someone else as it did to me
For sale is a 7 months old Gretsch 9110-SK, which is Gretsch's top of the line model.
Specs:
Handcrafted with all-solid koa top, back and sides
One-piece mahogany neck
16-fret rosewood fingerboard (joins body at 12th fret) and bridge
Vintage-style B&D mother-of-pearl position markers
Bone nut and saddle
Grover® 9NB geared tuning machines
Strings currently fitted are high-G Aquila super nylguts.
The uke produces a wonderful tone and that's why it makes me sad to let it go. I tried tons of ukes at music stores before buying this one and to me this had the sweetest voice.
See below for a sound sample. Here's also a product demo from gretsch if anyone is interested:

The ukulele has been meticulously cared for and is in excellent condition. I'd say as new, but if you look really closely at an angle with the light just right (pic below) you can see faint faint strum marks, but I wouldnt be suprised if they can be buffed off.
Other than that it's in perfect condition, see pics for reference.
As seen below it has some really nice koa, especially the back in my opinion and the fretboard looks really good with the discreet but stylish inlay. The build quality is really top notch, save for one detail: One of the braces is glued at an angle inside the uke - it doesnt affect sound or structural integrity but I want to mention it (I believe in full disclosure, pic below
).
The uke comes with a quality gigbag, but I've bought a nice hardcase for it and I would prefer to ship it in that for both our sakes.
I seriously doubt you can find a nicer solid koa concert for this price!
Asking 180 Euro for the uke, and I'll let the hardcase go for 20 euro (It costed me 50 Euros). So 200 total. This is a steal, I paid 450 for the uke+case.
Buyer pays shipping and I can ship anywhere in the EU or to the US.

Long post but wanted to be as thorough as I could.
