Hi UU!
I got this SO uke from the local craigslist, got a great deal on it but it had been sitting in the guys basement drying out for 5 years or so and has a couple cracks in the back that run side by side and are about a couple inches each. Uke is like new besides that, and I have recently taken it to a local luthier who glued and clamped the cracks in the back so they are not causing any trouble. You can still see them a bit and feel them if you run your hand along the back but the uke sings like it's brand new. Just slapped some new strings on it, it also got a setup while it was in the repair shop so it's ready to rock. Solid mahogany, VERY thin finish, almost non-existent which makes for a really light and resonant and loud wood.
Anyway, these sell new for around $340 USD, I am offering this to the UU crowd for $150 shipped continental US. Comes with Martin uke gig bag.
Or make me trade offers, Im especially interested in older vintage soprano/concert ukes like Harmony, Airline, etc. but would consider other stuff too +- cash etc.
Just PM me with offers/if interested! Thanks!
