Kala KA-S soprano MGM setup - SOLD

SOLD This is my first ukulele I bought from Musicgucmic who does a great job of setting up instruments and switches strings out to Aquila. The uke is a few months old but in great shape. The is a small ding/chip on the lower/back binding and I tried to photograph it. It would be a great starter, knockaround or beater. I would not be selling it except I am trying to buy a koaloha and need to unload.

Price is 60 including shipping to mainland US. Alaska, Hawaii or overseas is extra.

Here are specs:

  • Mahogany Construction
  • White Binding Top & Back
  • 12 Frets Total
  • 1 3/8" Neck Width at Nut
  • 13-1/2" Soprano Scale
  • 5-1/8" Upper Bout
  • 4-1/4" Waist
  • 6-5/8" Lower Bout

If you have any questions please ask. Here are some photos:

I can pick it up this wekend...... Where are you located........Send me a pm
 
Just curious but here again I read that MGM switches the strings on Kalas to Aquilas. I live in Canada and the store I buy from knows little about ukes but is a distributor for Kala and just orders them in and gives them to you. I don't think they even open the box. I have bought 2 Kalas (a Jazz archtop and a pineapple) in the last 2 weeks and both came right from Kala with Aquila strings. They even had a little card attached to say so.
 
Hmmm, not sure the52blues? I think maybe they used to come with cheapo strings. MGM does do a setup on the uke and from my bad guitar playing days it makes a difference.

Dentuke (dentist?) I am in midtown NY. Not far from the lincoln tunnel. 23rd st and 7th.
 
send me a pm....... we can meet on the week end or maybe friday before the uke cabaret











The Ukulele Cabaret is back again, March 26th, but at a new location, the P&G Bar on the Upper West Side. The Cabaret's former home in the East Village was nice but not big enough for it's overflow crowd. The famous P&G Bar itself recently moved into its new 2,700-square-foot home that features a separate performance space.




The Cabaret's hosts Sonic Uke write:




For those of you who have not experienced the Ukulele Cabaret, you are in for a treat. Leave your expectations at the door. Dozens of ukulele performers will wow you with everything from rock to opera; punk to glam; Hawaiian to Maori; mod to new wave; Beatles to Bach; country to vaudeville; sleazy to sexy; crooners to comedy; folk to metal; experimental to just down right mental.




From seasoned professionals to daring new performers, the Ukulele Cabaret is a breading ground for new and surprising acts.

efore the uke cabaret
 
I thought I was going to sell this over the weekend but buyer/seller just could not coordinate our schedules so it is still available for now. I have also listed this on fleamarket.
 
It was mentioned awhile back that Aquila would be Kala's factory installed string.
