Vintage Martin Style 1, excellent original condition. No cracks or dings.Plays beautifully, sweet, barky, classic Martin sound. Intonation good all the way up the neck.Original tuners work very well and hardly ever need adjusting once the strings have settled.It has T-frets and Waverley Hexnut tuners, but no "Made in the USA" on the interior stamp - which dates it from some time in the 1950s.All solid mahoganyRosewood fingerboard and bridgeEbony nut and saddleComes with an old case, which may or may not be originalCurrently strung with Living Water strings, but I will include a new set of Martin M600s as I think they give it the best soundThe only sign it shows of its age is the usual slight separation of the top binding at the waist.It also has a couple of minor nicks in the finishThe last 3 photos show the binding separation and the tiny nicks.Here is a link to a youtube video of the uke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgfYIgofSZo (it was only recorded on my ipad, so I'm afraid the sound quality isn't great), there are a few more videos of this uke on my channel.I love this little ukulele, but I have recently bought a vintage 3m and sadly I can't justify keeping both.PRICE INCLUDES UK POSTAGE
