*** SALE PENDING *** I have a Kiwaya KSL-1 up fpor sale or trade - it's a long neck soprano uke with a concert scale, made with a very thin solid mahogany top and Kiwaya's famous "hyperthin" mahogany laminate for the back and sides for excellent resonance. Rosewood fretboad and bridge, and a compensated saddle for excellent intonation. 14 frets to the body, 20 frets total. Pearl microdots at the 3,5,7,10, and 12th frets with corresponding side dots. It also has upgraded Grover open back geared 14:1 tuners with black knobs.
Very lightweight, responsive instrument, with great playability and dynamics. Lots of punch and tremendous clarity. Currently tuned with a low G and strung with Aquila nylgut strings. Also excellent
tone in the standard high G re-entrant tuning. A particularly nice KSL-1. Made in Japan.
Excellent condition except for a dent near the edge of the peghead which you'll notice when you hold the uke at a certain angle to the light - about 1/4" wide and long. The dent was there when the uke was new.
Comes with a padded camo gigbag.
$295 shipped to the USA lower 48.
I'm selling mainly to thin the herd, but I might trade for a soprano scale instrument. I'm sticking with the soprano's these days.
Note: Someone pointed out that the new KSL-1's are made of all laminate. However, the older models of the KSL-1 were adverstised as having a solid top. The serial number on this KSL-1 is #91, so it's definitely an early model, and it was advertised as a solid top wen I bought it new. I looked at the lip of the uke top at the soundhole, and as far I can tell, it is a solid top.
