{"product_id":"gibson-ub-1-banjo-ukulele-1928-7509","title":"Gibson UB-1 Banjo Ukulele (1928)","description":"Gibson UB-1 Model Banjo Ukulele, c. 1928, made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, shaded maple finish, maple neck and rim, ebonized fingerboard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis model is one of our perennial favorites! Although the diminutive UB-1 (retailing originally at $10.00!) was the least expensive instrument Gibson ever offered, these are still very well-made and have a unique tone all to themselves, rather like the sound is already coming off of a 78 RPM disc! The UB-1 is perfect for bringing closet flappers out of the woodwork! Fun, extremely playable, and awful darn cute.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 19 3\/4 in. (50.2 cm.), 6 in. (15.2 cm.) diameter head, and 3 in. (7.6 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 12 1\/2 in. (318 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1\/4 in. (32 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome wear overall but all original with no major finish loss. There are several typical small lamination cracks to the outer layer of the rim, but no structural issues. A good solid player with the expected \"Vo-D-O-Do\" sound. Overall Excellent - Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853302714508,"sku":"7509","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_2109a831-35bd-43f7-b2f5-153c23e87574.jpg?v=1774333798","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-ub-1-banjo-ukulele-1928-7509","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
