This is a mahogany Ukebrand concert, with a rosewood fretboard. It was made by New World Guitar Company in Santa Cruz, California, and is serial number 1161. It has a french polish finish. The case shown in the photo is included in the sale. There are a few cosmetic flaws which I have tried, not very successfully, to show in the photos, and which I will try to describe in detail. There is some minimal strum wear that does not show at all in the photos. A few inches below the bridge between the E and A strings there is a small spot that may or may not be a scratch, and there is a small scuff below the sound hole, above the upper G string. There are two short scratches in the headstock and also three small scratches on the back. Really the cosmetic flaws are pretty minor, and don't have too much impact on its overall beauty in my opinion. The defects were all there when I bought the uke. I believe this uke was intended to be a reproduction of a Martin Style 1. It has a very comfortable neck and a beautiful full tone. These are no longer being made and are becoming somewhat difficult to find. I guess I'm selling for no better reason than that I've got too many ukes. I'd like to get $550.00 for the uke, including shipping to the US.
