TRADED - I no longer have this ukulele.
(here's a link to a better sound clip than the others from the old review: https://www.box.com/s/203606e279ebb9589e2c I'm playing tuned down to EAC#F#; the clips from the review are played at GCEA with overly taught strings.)
Howdy folks!
I'm playing with the idea of selling or trading my beloved BlueGrassUke made by Tom Guy in 2010.
This is one of his early-ish traditional tenors made with a cedar top and walnut back/sides.
I've loved this uke and still frequently play it, but my MP is getting relatively more and more play time. I'm also considering picking up a quality soprano or concert. I keep re-injuring my wrist doing big stretches on the tenors.
This uke is in pretty good shape. It has one ding, maybe 2-3 mm across, on the lower bout. There are also scratches below the sound hole (the results of the very soft cedar and lending the uke out to an interested and perhaps over-enthusiastic teen).
I would certainly include the hard-shell Kala case (not one of the foam ones). This uke will only fit in the largest tenor size cases - there's no way it would fit in a mainland tweed case or an ameritage.
It's currently strung with Southcoast Heavies tuned to EAC#F#.
If anyone's seriously interested, I'll post some current photos and sound clips. In the mean time, here's a review I did of this uke from 2 or 3 years ago:

To purchase or trade for this uke, I'd be looking for:
- $550 (including $25 towards shipping - local folks in the Toronto to Ottawa 401 corridor can meet me somewhere and pay only $525)
- a quality (not china-made brand) soprano, super-soprano or possibly a concert
- possibly a good factory made soprano (mainland, ohana, etc) plus some cash
Shoot me a pm if you're interested, have something to trade or just want more info.
