This spruce and zebra wood model has been the prize of my ukulele collection for many years (I bought it brand new), but seems as of late I have not been playing much baritone and need to clear up some space. I'm willing to sell it for a fair bit less than I paid for it.

You will not find a more beautiful, better playing and more awesome sounding ukulele than this.

Location: Phoenix AZ | I had a few questions about the tuners.
These are the coolest things. They are actually Banjo tuners. They look like regular peg tuners but they are actually geared in a 4:1 ratio which makes tuning extremely easy and rock solid stable. Duane made the buttons (zebra wood) himself to match the body. The more I look at these photos, the more tempted I am to ask Miles to delete this thread.
If someone is seriously interested I could consider some kind of payment/layaway plan. THANKS |
