UB5 ukulele-banjo AD SUSPENDED -
BUYER UNREACHABLE Serial
number 8945-23, number on resonator matches that on body.
This dates it to 1928. The instrument is in good
condition aside from one cosmetic flaw. The rim of the
resonator is broken off halfway around the instrument to
a depth of ½" or so. This does not affect the
playability or sound, but is a cosmetic issue when viewed
from certain angles. It has a professionally applied
decal of a parakeet on the back of the resonator which an
appraiser said may or may not be a Gibson factory
customization, as such things were not uncommon. It has
wear and tear as is expected for a well played instrument
of its age, but it is in fine playing shape, and I have
played it (tried to!) quite a bit. It has what appears to
be the original case with it and there is even an ancient
crumbly piece of paper in the inner compartment that
appears to be directions to a long lost capo. |
