【Please be sure to read the profile before purchasing or asking questions.】 I collect and repair vintage ukuleles as a hobby. This is a vintage Famous FU-200 soprano ukulele for sale. It is equivalent to the current model FS-5G (list price 41,800 yen). It's a Hawaiian koa ukulele, and while there are some minor scratches and small dents, it's in good condition for a vintage instrument. What I recommend most is the tiger-stripe grain on the top, back, and head! It's truly beautiful. I've seen dozens of Famous ukuleles, and I think the FU-200 has the best Hawaiian koa wood. The saddle was missing, so I made an original bamboo saddle. (Photos 9 and 10) The string height at the 12th fret is 3mm. (Adjust the height to your liking by sanding the bottom of the saddle with sandpaper, etc.) I think it's very rare because you can't get a bamboo saddle unless you buy an all-bamboo ukulele. If you want to enjoy the sound of a bamboo saddle, why not give it a try? (You can of course replace the saddle, so if you want to replace it with a different saddle, such as a bone saddle, please purchase it on Amazon, etc.) I replaced the strings with new nylon strings. I replaced the friction pegs with new geared pegs. (Please remove the protective stickers on the back of the pegs yourself.) Replacing the pegs costs at least 10,000 yen if you ask a professional. It's a great deal considering the replacement cost. It's a model from about 30 years ago and uses good quality wood. Recent FS-5Gs don't have many with clear grain, so I think it's better to buy this one. In addition to the body, a case and a manual are included. This is a recommended ukulele for those looking for a Hawaiian koa ukulele! I hope it reaches a wonderful player! Please check the condition of the product carefully in the images before purchasing. I try to check carefully, but even if there are differences from the description, the current condition takes precedence, and no claims or returns are accepted. Packaging: We will use recycled materials. #Famous #フェイマス (Famous) #KAMAKA #カマカ (Kamaka) #KoAloha #コアロハ (KoAloha)
