saw this on craigslist...

"Vintage 1950's/1960's Skylark Ukulele. No cracks. Solid wood body. Brand new strings (tuned G, C, E, A). New Tuners. Beautiful image on the body of a man playing a uke under some palm trees. Also reads "Hawaii" in gold script. Sounds wonderful. "

that is the discription of a uke i saw on craigslist today for $120? is this a really good deal? know nothing about vintage ukes.

this is what it looks like:





what do you think? scam? or amazing deal? or average OK-ish uke for the money...

I'd pass. Anything with palm trees and "Hawaii in gold script" on the top is probably touristy junk. Unless you're into collecting old kitsch, save your money and put it toward something better.

just wasn't sure if it was a known ukulele brand that made good ukulele's, or something. anyone heard of it?

Hi,

The Skylark brand is one of the cheaper ones for musical instruments, no Ukes on ebay at the moment but a few others to look at:
