For Sale: Customized Martin S-O
FOLKS: This Martin is still up for sale! NOW WITH A NEW PRICE!!! Grab it while you can!
You may know that we're adopting. We hope to have a little boy from Russia by Wintertime. So I've got to make room in my closet for our new family member's clothes! Therefore, I'm selling some great ukuleles, a couple which I never thought I'd part with.
But things change. We need the space. And the money!
Here is info on the Martin:
1990's Martin S-O, with hardshell case:
For years it's been my favorite ukulele. But when deciding which ukes to keep, I couldn't get rid of the ones made by individual luthiers. This uke has a great sound to it. - It has a cool-sounding "crunch" when it strums (if you know what I'm talking about). It had a small split in the back which was repaired with Mahogany braces (as seen in the photos). This happened because Martin does not make braces that span the entire back! With this repair, it is actually a better instrument than before.
I also had inlay dots put in above the bridge (see photos), by Tom Guy of Bluegrass Ukuleles. The pearl dots look great and make this a unique Martin!
Here's a video comparing the Martin with my other sopranos.
