<SOLD!>
Please note: I'm selling this uke cheap because it has several issues.
Up for sale is a Lanikai LK-1s solid koa soprano uke. These were made by the Kanile'a company a few years back. They are basically the same thing as a Kanile'a K1, with a different headstock logo and older bracing (not TRU).
This particular uke is a bit of a fixer-upper. I'll list its issues one by one:
1. There's a 3/4" crack on the midline seam of the soundboard, originating at the soundhole and moving towards the bridge. I don't know the circumstances under which it occurred, but it hasn't progressed since it appeared a year ago and the two edges are not moveable when pressed.
2. Another issue, solely due to my newbie stupidity, is that I filed the nut and saddle. I achieved good action but the filing was uneven, as you can see in the photos below. The nut comes off easily when the strings are removed. It has to be put back in place when new strings are added.
