PLEASE SEE NEW THREAD FOR BETTER PICS AND INCLUDED CASE: http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/f...UT2K-with-MiSi-Pickup-and-Ameritage-Gold-Case
Hi all,
I think I've finally decided to sell my Collings UT2K, serial no 749. Just purchased a baritone and a tenor and need to offset the cost, so I'm going to let this amazing instrument go.
The Collings is in excellent condition, but it has been played (a lot) and does have some strum marks exactly where you'd expect to find them. They are impossible to photograph (at least for me) and even with the naked eye, you need just the right angle to see them, but they are there.
I had Bob Stubblebine, a local luthier in Cambridge install a MiSi Mi-Si Acoustic Trio pickup, who also fashioned a custom saddle to add some compensation for my preferred low G tuning. Bob did a fantastic job (I'm sure other UUers in the area can vouch for him) but if the compensated saddle is not something you want he told me it could be easily reversed. Uke is currently strung with Southcoast linear flat wounds.
It's a fantastic instrument, easy to play, great sound, sustain, just a joy. I don't really have a setup to do a sound sample, but it lives up to the Collings name.
I do not have the original case (I didn't like it and replaced it with a Ameritage case) and this sale will not include a case.
I'm asking $1600, firm, which includes shipping to the CONUS and paypal fees. If you're in the Boston area (I'm in Brookline) and want to pick it up, talk to me and we can work out a discount on that for saving me the cost and trouble of shipping.
Please note that I will not be able to ship until late next week due to the holiday.
Please PM me with any questions. Thanks!
