Selling pretty much everything. Next up is this wild and crazy koa CR. Purchased new from Gryphon last December. I paid over $1,800 for it. Selling for $1,500 shipped insured to CONUS only. Comes with Access gig bag which admittedly isn't the best case but it was what was included. Uke is in mint condition. Two minor issues: there is some sort of binding issue on the headstock that you'll see in the pics, I don't even know if it's an issue per se, but it's like a small white line that runs along the binding; and there is no "S" at the bottom of the rosette. The uke came this way with both of these "issues," and I never called Gryphon about either one because I personally don't care about either- I mean, just look at the thing...

Sounds excellent and plays wonderfully...

So sorry you have to let this one go. It's such a beautiful instrument and the price is too low!

Best of luck with your sale. It should move very quickly.

Sweet looking Compass Rose! If I didn't already have one, this would be it!
Rick makes a great uke.
 
$1,350 all inclusive to CONUS. If still no interest I'm gonna list it elsewhere. Thanks for looking. -- Matt

That is a beautiful instrument! You wouldn't be open to trades would you?
 
Thanks but not looking for trades at present. Had two offers that dropped out. Anyone have an offer at all?
 
Try posting some better photos of the headstock and maybe some views of the fretboard. Because there is nothing at the Gryphon link. ;)
