Post war George Formby Dallas-B

Here we have a late model Dallas-B. Slightly different from the pre-war models, i believe they were made by George Houghton & sons after the war.

The resonator attaches with 4 small screws into the flange on the post war model, and there is no perch pole inside the pot. The finish on the later models was a thick bright red finish too.

When this uke arrived at the restoration barn it was in a very poor state with a battered fretboard and very worn finish.

I removed the remains of the original finish and polished the hardware. New tuners were fitted and the resonator was repaired. A slight red stain was added before finishing the uke with Tru-oil.
A very pleasing restoration to one of my favourite ukes.

Slight wear to fretboard
