1981 Abbott 'Monarch' ukulele-banjo. SOLD
An Abbott 'Monarch' made in 1981 by Jack Abbott Junior for Alf White, a founder member of the Ukulele Society of Great Britain. I still have the correspondence and receipt sent from Jack Abbott in respect of the instrument.

It's a top-tension model with scalloped bezel and decorative inlays on the peghead, fingerboard and back. Nickel-plated metalwork, pentagonal cut-outs in the flange, ornamentally shaped peghead and 16 frets. Complete with Roger Bamford hard case.

The condition is original and extremely good, the only points to mention being that a little of the white binding on each side of the fingerboard is missing (from the top fret to the end of the neck - it's only 'cosmetic') and a label has been stuck to the back of the peghead at some time (this looks as though it could be cleaned up).

I would prefer the buyer to collect the instrument from me in Braintree, Essex, as this would enable you to view and play it first; however I am prepared to send it by post if necessary.

£1250 O.N.O. SOLD

Buyer to collect (preferably) or pay shipping/insurance from Braintree, Essex (UK).
