  • FS: Vintage Ukulele With Custom Tremolo

    This unit comes with a custom relic job achieved through not only poor build quality, but also from being treated like **** for it's entire existence. The finish appears to be some sort of an attempt at a cherry burst, which is quite rare on this particular model. It was really only an option from 1988-90, and not a popular one at that. Scale length is 25.4" and the radius is flat.

    This Uke initially came with four strings, but too broke off and I didn't feel that I really needed them all that much, so now it only has two. It's setup to be tuned in G4-G4, but sometimes it does whatever it wants, so I really cannot say in good faith what notes will come out of it. There are two extra holes in the headstock (not very clear in the pictures) to prevent neck dive.

    The tremolo is a custom unit from a concept that I am working on selling to Gibson for their higher end lines of guitars. As I have not gotten down to the patent office yet, I will not be answering any questions in regards to the specifics of how exactly the bridge works. If you want to try it out, pony up.

    Keith Richards made alot of music with five strings on his guitar so you'll be able to make alot of music on a two string uke

            Man! That's a beauty. I think you went the wrong way on your intro. You should have said, "Almost perfect condition. Barely used." lolololol

              Still here? What a pity!
              My advice: Raise the price. Wealthy buyers don't go cheap.

                Man! I asked my wife and she said until our taxes come back we just can't afford it right now. Maybe sometime in March. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you don't sell it until I can gather the cash.
                Can you hold it for me?

                  I doubt it has the structural integrity to be held for any prolonged period of time, but I'll see what I can do.

                    Although it looks to be an original, don't be fooled! This a a Chinese copy. It it was an original he would be asking 3x's that much.

                      Does it play like butter? Been looking for one with a dark treewood board for a while now.

                        I’ll give you 75 cents to throw it in your own fireplace, and post the video on YouTube.
