My friend is interested in purchasing a used Kamaka Tenor UKE. This uke was made in 2006 and appears to be the real deal.
But he is concerned with the following things. Maybe you guys know something about this UKE.
1.) My friend noticed that the fret bars are not polished on the edges and they seem sharp. Is this normal for Kamaka and what can be done to fix it.
2.) the tuners have a stylized S or a G Is this a Schlage tuner or is a Grover?
3.) Should the heel be flush with the body or is it ok to have some variance?
4.) There is a very small of laquer pooled in the recessed on the bridge. Is this normal?
So we were wondering if this is a factory second or that were being too picky. I mean its a very very expensive uke? What say the experts?
It came with a white wound c-string and black strings. The c-string buzzes a bit. I was hoping to swap strings.
