I haven't posted uke pics here lately because I've been tied up with so many mandolin and guitar repairs!
Fortunately, here's a cute little beat-up old Washburn that I finished overhauling yesterday. This one had been really messed with by a previous owner but after removing that influence it's turned out to be a fantastic player with that typically focused, loud, and sweet Lyon & Healy uke tone.
Note that the modified bridge style ("pass through, pull out the hole, and knot" style) is due to the bridge having been cut up in all sorts of weird ways to lower the action in the past.
