I just picked up a Pono AT from craigslist and it's been fantastic to play. The previous owner had a passive pickup installed, which was a nice bonus. Serial number looks to be 120251, so I think that means it was built in 2012.
One thing I noticed though was that it looks like the covers (I'm not sure what the actual term is) on the front of the tuners have been replaced with hex nuts. Is this a normal thing to do to a Uke? Any ideas why they might have replaced the covers?
Also the fretboard is dirty as heck. I'm planning on giving it a good scrub after removing the strings, and probably using some 0000 steel wool and F-ONE Fretboard Oil if I can't get it up with just a cloth.
