These ukes were made from the 1920's onwards. This one is an early one, confirmed by the wooden dowel wedged in the perchpole.
I have fitted a flatback resonator to complete the look, as i believe this model had a resonator.
Its made from maple, looks to have been stained. I stripped most of the stain away to leave a nice effect of the grain showing through the stain.
Fitted with 16 tension hooks and Gibson UB-1 style shoes. These have been re-chromed, along with the bezel as they were in a poor state when i received it.
Plays very well, nice and comfy to hold, very sweet sounding uke with the right amount of volume.
I fitted new tuners, new vellum & GHS strings
