Gibson UB-1 Model Banjo Ukulele, c. 1928, made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, brown lacquer finish, maple neck and rim, canvas gig bag case.
One of our favorite instruments! Although the UB-1 was the least expensive Gibson ever offered, they are still well-made and have a very specific tone all to themselves, rather like the sound is already coming off of a 78 disc!
Fun, perfectly playable, and awful darn cute!
Overall length is 20 in. (50.8 cm.), 6 in. (15.2 cm.) diameter head, and 3 in. (7.6 cm.) deep. Scale length is 12 1/2 in. (318 mm.).
All original and all around excellent with some plating loss to the tailpiece and hooks. Includes original canvas bag. Excellent Condition.
