This is a beautiful ukulele that is a great player’s instrument. It is not cosmetically perfect, but it looks, plays, and sounds great. A previous owner installed strap buttons. There are some blemishes on the top, including what looks like a raised area of finish by the bridge and some pick/strum marks and small indentations. This finish is tight and sealed - there is no open wood. The previous owner said some bridge work had been done. Bridge is tight and flat all the way around and there is no belly rising – belly is flat. The raised finish and pick/strum indentations are just cosmetic- this uke is in fine shape and The start price is $1,000 below the on-line retail price. There is no reserve price. It of course comes with the awesome Martin case. Please ask any and all questions before bidding and I cannot accept returns or give refunds. No shipping outside lower 48 US states.
