Cosmetic Condition:

Very good.  The Uke does have some minor dings throughout but overall is in pretty great condition given its age.  There was a side crack that was repaired by our technician which he details in the tech notes section of our listing.  It isn't super noticeable but you can see where the crack was repaired at the right angle.  See the two listing photos of the side of the uke.   

SETUP & INSPECTED BY OUR LUTHIER

 

TECH NOTES:  Looks like it had a bridge reglue at one time or another, seems stable. restrung with quality nylagut strings, plays comfortably, medium action, a little bit of relief in the neck. There was a side crack, bracing, and small back crack that we repaired in house. I wasnt able to match to color perfectly in a few areas on the side crack, but it is sealed, smooth and stable which is the most important part! One tuner was missing a part, I found a old ferrule that fit it perfectly, and it functions perfectly now, all the friction tuners work totally fine. Holds tune well sounds great.
