Thank you very much for viewing this item. This is a Martin vintage style 0 ukulele. The ukulele for sale is a very early example with a headstock logo decal. Moreover, it's an ultra-rare big logo. According to the article on P40 of [VINTAGE UKULELE BOOK], Martin ordered decals from F, Palm in June 1932, and the decals began to be applied from the late 1932 or 1933. The early models had large decals without black borders, and only 320 were made, so the number still in existence is thought to be small. This particular instrument corresponds to this. In Martin's history of ukulele making spanning over 100 years, the production of only 320 instruments is incredibly valuable. It is truly a very early logo from the golden era. The golden era logo's gold color does not fade easily, while the gold color of subsequent logos often turns black. The materials used are also of incredibly high quality, unbelievable by today's standards. The fingerboard and bridge are made of Brazilian rosewood, and it has bar frets. The fingerboard dots are also very small. This instrument has been oversprayed in the past, has repair marks, touch-ups, and the tuners have been replaced with Gotoh UPT for practicality, but it has no fatal cracks. The string height is about 3mm on the 4th string Hi-G, which is appropriate and very easy to play. The pickguard in the photo is made using 1930s tortoise material. The outer edges are also beautifully chamfered. It can be attached and removed repeatedly. The sound is big, the pitch is good, and it's the sound of a Martin ukulele! Please add it to your collection. You will rarely encounter a big logo specification like this in the field. This is a player's condition instrument. Please understand that it is not suitable for those who prioritize originality or are looking for a super-mint condition instrument. However, Martin's big logo type rarely appears on the market. Even if it does, collectors are unlikely to let them go. This instrument has survived for over 90 years, played through the ages. I hope it will continue to survive for another 20 or 30 years. The case is a general-purpose one. It will be shipped in the case and packed in cardboard. If you are interested, please purchase it with no returns and no claims.
