***SOLD[** Please PM me if you are interested in additional pics in HIGH RES. For whatever reason they will not download here) Beautiful Dave Talsma Custom Quilted Mahogany Martin Style 3 Concert. Dave's ukes seldom come up for sale, and I know I'm going to regret letting this one go; but unfortunately the downsizing must continue. This is an absolutely stunning example of the craftsmanship of Talsma String Instruments, Swartz Creek, Michigan, and is featured on his site, www.davetalsma.com. Solid quilted mahogany body, 4x B/W and ivoroid binding, 6x B/W rosette, ivoroid headstock and tail piece inlays, ebony fret board with 4x B/W inlay and MOP fret and side position markers, mahogany neck and bridge with through bridge and soundboard stringing, quilted mahogany veneered headstock and Peghead tuners. This is a meticulously built instrument that is truly a wonderful, smooth player. It is serial #101, with a 2010 build date and considering the amount of hours of play is in very good condition. There is some minor honest-to-goodness play wear near and around the soundhole, two small spots that look like shirt button rubs on the back, and some finish marks where the fret board meets the neck on the A string side, most likely from the ring finger. I have just cleaned and polished the ebony fret board, polished the fret bars, and restrung with Oasis Bright re-entrants. Comes with a very well fitting black with gold hardware yellow stitched hard case. SOLDshipped CONUS with payment through Paypal Friends and Family.
