I collect ukuleles as a hobby and also restore old ones (though I'm just an amateur). I'm decluttering to organize my collection. If you're looking for a perfect product, please consider purchasing from a musical instrument store. This ukulele was purchased used. Neck has play and has been reattached. The body's lacquer finish had become cloudy, so it was stripped and re-lacquered. The neck was in good condition, so the original finish was kept. Therefore, the body and neck colors are slightly different. See photo 15. The original plastic tuners have been replaced with GOTOH metal tuners, making tuning easier. How about it, anyone interested in a vintage Japanese ukulele from the 60s? No claims and no returns. Shipping will be done by wrapping the ukulele in bubble wrap or protective paper and then placing it in a reused cardboard box. If purchased on a Friday afternoon, shipping will be on Monday.
