Hey Spaw ~ I also had one of those little hummers way back then? If I remember correctly it was my 4th uke. My first one died of water damage. I used to swim as much as possible & thought it would be great to have a uke that could take to the water. Unfortunately it did have one major protlem ~~ they couldn't take the heat ~~ mine had a partial melt down after I left it in the car with the windows up on a hot day.Cap't Bob
