I collect ukuleles and enjoy restoring old ones as a hobby (though I'm just an amateur). I'm decluttering and selling some to organize my collection. If you're looking for a perfect instrument, I recommend purchasing from a musical instrument store. This ukulele was purchased used. It has some minor scratches, but is relatively clean. Please refer to the photos for the condition. It's a core wood plywood ukulele, but the sound quality is good, and the wood grain is beautiful. This is a great ukulele for those who want to seriously learn to play. You can find reviews of Famous ukuleles online. No claims and no returns. Shipping will be done with bubble wrap or protective paper, and packed in a recycled cardboard box.
