Need to thin the herd a little. Prices include shipping in the CONUS - I'm happy to ship elsewhere at cost.
1. Pono MB baritone, all solid mahogany. This was a second, though I'm not sure what the "flaw" is supposed to be - possibly the glue join at the bottom where the sides meet, which is slightly raised. I did add another flaw when I accidentally knocked it against something, taking a tiny chip out of the back near the bottom edge. Otherwise it looks and plays great. Currently strung with Aquila Reds, which I think sound great but for my taste are a little too low tension.
Asking $250 shipped. I have a nice UkeCrazy hard foam case that I could add in for an extra $25, but the headstock of the Pono is just about touching the edge - I don't know if that's a problem or not but wanted to be clear about it.
2. Kala SMHTE-C all solid mahogany tenor cutaway with pickup. This one is in excellent condition with only minor signs of use. Sounds great acoustic - plugged in it sounds okay, I'm not too impressed with the quality of the electronics, but it does come through the amp with enough volume (see video to follow).
Asking $225 shipped. For an extra $5 I can include your choice of a basic no-name gigbag (minimal padding) or a Kala deluxe gigbag that has better padding but there are a couple small tears (or near-tears) in the fabric alongside the zipper, and the zipper catches now and then - it's kind of annoying but if you can put up with it it's a decent bag.
I will post some more photos and videos shortly. Please excuse the poor quality of some of the pics - my good camera is currently vacationing in Germany.
