Details
Nice original Washburn uke with "Lyon & Healy, Makers, Chicago U.S.A." stamp on the inside of the back. Classic Washburn style, with "smile" bridge and cool gold-&-green leafy stencil on the top. It's hard to find these with their original mini-bridge pins, easy to see why! There's a repaired crunch to the back, and another tight hairline above it, but they've been repaired and seem solid. Original Grover tuners have nice grained Ivoroid buttons and work well (for friction pegs). Neck is straight so this is playable (but string action high above the 10th fret). And the "PAT. APLD FOR" stamp on the back of the headstock? It's for the raised binding ring around the should hole.
