Famous FS-5 Natural

Since its production started in 1955, Famous Ukulele has been pursuing sound quality, ease of playability, and the beauty of the finish that makes the most of the wood quality.
The FS-5 is a popular model characterized by the beautiful grain of Hawaiian koa wood.
The size is a standard soprano. Recommended for a first time player as it is reasonably priced.

There is a gouge on the fingerboard. Paint is peeling on the edge of the body.
There are scratches and dents on the whole body, and it looks used.
The neck is slightly warped, but there are no problems with the playing condition.
