Made in Japan, a guarantee of quality. This is the FS-1G, a particularly popular model from Famous. The manufacturer's suggested retail price is 33,000 yen. Online retailers often require a case, which adds to the cost. It's a standard soprano size, making it recommended for anyone who wants to start playing. The FS-1G is a popular model equipped with geared tuners, providing stable tuning, which many beginners find reassuring compared to straight peg tuners. Inexpensive overseas-made ukuleles tend to go out of tune easily, which can lead to frustration for beginners. This ukulele is the most basic soprano size, featuring the soft, gentle sound characteristic of mahogany wood, and a satin finish that provides a smooth, warm feel. It has 15 frets, allowing it to handle songs with a wide range. This is a 2024 model, in excellent condition, comparable to new. The metal parts, bridge, nut, saddle, and neck are all in very good condition. There is no bridge lift, and the geared tuners function perfectly, providing stable tuning. As this is a used item, there may be some unnoticed scratches, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor imperfections. The frets and fingerboard have been cleaned, giving them a very good color, and they should not require moisturizing for a while. A case (around 2,000 yen) and a clip-on tuner (around 1,000 yen) are also included. With over 20 years of experience with musical instruments, feel free to consult with me if you have any questions. Shipping will be done with bubble wrap packaging. Please note that this item is also for sale on other sites, so there is a possibility of it being sold out.
