Hmm… Well, firstly the reduction in price here is greater than the problem with the uke warrants. What is the issue? Why is it b-stock. Well… it’s my fault. There’s a hole in the fingerboard on the 9th fret. It’s obvious. It doesn’t cause any problem. You can’t feel it, and it doesn’t affect the playing of it. But it’s there and it’s my fault. So the discount is there as I feel an idiot.

How did the hole get there? Well… I was lowering the action of an Enya Nova U Pro. These have a polycarbonate saddle which is rock hard. So I was sanding it down very vigourously. To the extent that my workbench was wobbling. Wobbling enough to topple my drill off the edge on and onto the box of a JA-260GB that was underneath, waiting to be packed. (At this point I have to remember to say this one has a Worth Clear low G fitted - and that thankfully I had another one to send to the customer who had ordered it!) The drill toppled bit first, and the drill bit damaged the fingerboard. Cushioned by the box to a degree, but still.

Anyway, I want this one out of my store, hence the big reduction. As it is it is just a reminder of a bad day at the office! I’ll fill the hole before it goes - but wanted to show it in the photos at its worst.
