Gibson UB-1 Model Banjo Ukulele, c. 1928, made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, brown lacquer finish, maple neck and rim, rosewood fingerboard, gig bag case.
One of our all-time favorites! Although the UB-1 (retailing originally at $10.00!) was the least expensive instrument Gibson ever offered, they are still very well-made and have a specific tone all to themselves, rather like the sound is already coming off of a 78 disc�perfect for bring closet flappers out of the woodwork! Fun, extremely playable, and awful durn cute.
Overall length is 19 3/4 in. (50.2 cm.), 6 in. (15.2 cm.) diameter head, and 312 in. (792.5 cm.) deep. Scale length is 12 1/2 in. (318 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1/4 in. (32 mm.).
All original, very nice condition with only some plating wear. Plays and sounds perfect. Includes a very brightly colored modern gigbag. Excellent + Condition.
