Custom Kamaka Ukulele - Gold Label - Soprano - Late 50s - Koa

Gold Label Kamaka Soprano Ukulele. The Gold Label instruments were made from 1954 to 1969. Everything about this instrument says late '50s. One piece Koa neck, 50s chipboard case...original owners address with no zip code, just a Postal Route.
Like all the Gold Label Ukes, its 100% solid Koa...even the nut. And like so many in the less humid than Hawaii climate, the top has some hairline cracks below the bridge (see the pics). Otherwise, it's in great shape and sounds...well...like it should.  Some humidification will close those up nicely. Either way, a great player.
One of the original tuning peg buttons was gone when I found it. A search of the three best vintage instrument shops in Indy yielded this wonderful set that look great an function perfectly. The original "donut" ferrules were retained to maintain the correct appearance. I used the fiber rings of the new set for increased functionality. All original tuning peg parts as found will be included. I took some pics of the headstock with two original, and two replacement pegs to compare.
