For Sale FS: Breedlove Signature Uke Myrtle/Spruce. Seahorse inlay $1500

[curiousdave84]

I am not playing much uke these days (primarily a guitar player), and could use the funds to chase after an electric I have had my eye on.

I bought this uke brand new and it has only been played at home by me. It is in excellent condition and no noticeable wear or issues of any nature. I have a mya-moe tenor I am keeping as it was built for me and I picked out the woods, so it has more sentimental value to me. As such this one is looking for a new home.

My understanding is that these were pretty rare in that 3-4 were built a year. Much different than the ukes they are making now.

Features include:
USA Made
Spruce Top
Myrtle back and sides
Waverly Tuners
radiused fretboard
Sea Horse inlay on fretboard.
Slot Head
Breedlove hard case

Really an exceptional uke.

$1500 net to me. Shipping should not be too bad to the continental US. I have acquired a mandolin and would like to move this along. In my opinion hard to find a better uke than this for this price.

Maybe I'm missing it, but is it a tenor or concert?

 

[curiousdave84]

Oh. Sorry. It is a tenor size

 

[curiousdave84]

Bump on this. I have a strong desire to get back into mandolin and would love to send this to someone who will play if more than I am.

A lovely ukulele. I like Myrtle as a tone wood very much. I think it's somewhat brighter than mahogany & walnut.

Really like the Seahorse inlay. Quite nice work. Do you know who did it?

You might want to post some detail photos.

 

[curiousdave84]

Happy to take some more detail photos. Not sure who did the inlay. What I heard is that Larry Breedlove had a large hand in these signature ukes, but I can’t confirm that.

 

[curiousdave84]

Bump this to the top. I imagine you will have a hard time finding a Uke this nice for the price ($1500). I also see the marketplace rules have been updated and I need to get a photo up with an ownership picture

 

[ploverwing]

Wow it's still available? That's a beauty!

 

[curiousdave84]

Yep. It just doesn't get any play time. Just hanging on my wall in the guitar room basically in brand new condition. I primarily play guitar and I have a Mya Moe tenor that I picked the woods on. I really only need 1 uke.

 

[curiousdave84]

Added some pics including proof of ownership

 

[curiousdave84]

still up for grabs

 

[dlholden]

Hey Curiousdave, Is this still available? Also, do you have any audio recordings of how it sounds?

 

[curiousdave84]

Yes. It is still available. I do not have any audio recordings, but I can confirm it sounds great. Thanks
