For sale a vintage martin soprano ukulele. I'm not an expert on martin ukes but I believe this to be from the late 40's to late 50's. I say this because, it has the martin logo on the front of the headstock and no logo on the back.....and inside the soundhole its stamped, "cf martin & co narazeth pa", it doesn't have the "made in the usa" stamp.
The condition I would rate as very good for a uke of this age. Certainly it has been played and shows some play wear but it has no condition issues such as cracks or significant wear. It does sport some nicks and scratches that I captured in the pics. The fretboard is in pretty nice shape, the tuners work and the action is very low without buzzes. This is a very loud little uke with nice tone. Its extremely lightweight and when you strum it you can feel the entire uke vibrate. Asking $550 + $30 shipping to Canada or the US. Payment via paypal.
