So, bought Nuprin's Gstring (thanks, bruddah!) & he was under the impression that it was a "second" and had noted earlier that it had some intonation issues around the 12th fret. It was sold to Nuprin as a "second" as well due to what appears to be a green mark on the wooden Gstring label in the soundhole. (pictured)
So, I thought I'd try & track down the original owner(s) & Nuprin helped me w/the first link in the chain. And back to the original owner, it seems that this uke was purchased NEW in August 2003 and is NOT a second! The original owner thinks that one of his younger kids (at the time) probably marked it w/crayon or marker. So, my question? Anybody got a good way to easily remove crayon or green marker from the inside of the uke? I'm not sure I really care, but wanted to at least try in case there are other markings under the crayon/markings. (the S/N is: TD 08983)
I've used Gstring's website contact form to ask them about the uke & would like to try & get the intonation fixed either by them or a local luthier.
Love finding out where this uke originated & who has had it before me.
