I believe the pickup was done at factory. PKC-2_E, the E does not show on inside but the uke is one. Has a slight slight thin scuff mark, not into the finish on back near the neck. You cannot see it in photos. Has some play time so there is some strum marks but not noticeable unless you look carefully under a good light at an angle, otherwise a beauty. Need money for new uke next month in Hawaii I am going to pick up. Selling the MATE to it also PKS-2E, mint there even more, bought that one from MGM
