Blown-up strap button :: Vox Electric Uke VEU-33C [2.3 lbs]
The tail strap button was blown out, but luckily all of the pieces were there. I put the puzzle back together and redrilled for the strap button.
Pretty cool uke with a built-in preamp and speaker.
Lanikai LU-22CGC Concert Ukulele [1.2 lbs] :: setup
A few high frets needed to be reseated, restrung it with D'Addario T2 strings and adjusted the saddle and the nut.
Note that I do not get a lot of ukuleles in the shop so I took the opportunity to get some insight from master builder Jake Maclay of Hive Ukuleles. We both share Santa Cruz, CA luthier roots but unfortunately did not cross paths out west. He is extremely knowledgeable and builds beautifully clean ukuleles with a contemporary style. Make sure you check him out.
