I collect ukuleles as a hobby and also restore old ones (though I'm just an amateur). I'm decluttering to organize things a bit. If you want a perfect product, please purchase it from a musical instrument store. I purchased this ukulele used. There are two holes on the right side (as you look at it) that appear to have been made with a drill, and one hole at the base of the neck (see photos 13-15). The bridge was installed misaligned during manufacturing (see photo 16). After purchasing it, I filled in the three drill holes and reattached the bridge straight. Overall, it has few scratches and is in good condition, but I am listing it as a junk item due to the hole filling and bridge reattachment. It appears to be a plywood mahogany ukulele. The model number is usually three digits, but this one is a four-digit number in the 2000s, so it may be a higher-grade product, but the details are unknown. Would this be suitable for your first ukulele? No claims and no returns. Shipping will be done by wrapping it in bubble wrap or protective paper and placing it in a reused cardboard box.
