Up for sale, a 1950s Martin Style 0 in excellent condition, complete with a chipboard case. Embodying the quality, craftsmanship, and tonal characteristics inherent in a vintage Martin, this soprano ukulele quickly became the brand’s most popular and best-selling instrument after its original release in 1921, when the Hawaiian music craze was hitting its peak. Its classic design includes solid mahogany construction and a Brazilian rosewood fretboard and bridge, producing a sweet, bubbly sound with healthy projection. This Style 0 has been professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with fresh strings and easy-playing action.
