I bought a "vintage" uke off of ebay. Its probably not as old as the stuff that came with it - it came w/a full set of ukulele lessons from 1919 that look quite authentic - aged paper etc.
But the uke is missing the 12th fret. I cleaned it up (it was apparently stored in a barn or something similar) & replaced the tuners (it had one mis-matched tuner) & have it strung w/Aquilas. [I know that replacing the tuners w/new doesn't help resale value, but it was cheap & it actually already sounds pretty good!]
Here are photos of the frets - are these common enough that I could purchase some fretwire for that missing fret? Stemac? Or?
