Here are some sweet ukulele deals for you to peruse.

Vintage ‘Les Paul’ Style Ukulele

After seeing Mahalo's Flying V Ukulele, I wanted to see what else Mahalo had to offer in the way of ukuleles.  A quick ebay search turned up an auction for a VINTAGE SUNBURST UKULELE Mahalo Acoustic Ukelele + Case

That thing is foxy!  It is also, apparently, a limited edition.  But, it does come with a gig bag.  So, if you were looking for a step-up on the standard ukulele starter kit, this might be a great way to go.  The auction includes free shipping, from Great Britain , so that seems pretty decent.

WOAH!!!

Hold the phone, check out this deal for what appears to be the same instrument

Something like $8 cheaper!  And, with Amazon Prime it qualifies for free shipping.  Actually, I think that you get free shipping anyway because it's over $50.  Score!  Something tells me, though, that the ebay auction will be cheaper for our friends across the pond.  It seems like many of the Amazon products that I list are quite a bit more in Europe.

Anyway, you have two methods for acquiring the same beautiful ukulele!

Heck.  Just get both and send the extra one to me, right?  I mean, that seems only fair.

Ukulele Wall Mount

So... you have some ukuleles (Wait, you do have some ukuleles, right?  If not, correct that problem and get a ukulele already!).  Anyway, you have ukuleles, but you need somewhere to put them when you aren't playing them.  I mean.. you can't play all three of them at once, right?  Well, sounds like you need to buy this hand carved ukulele wall mount on ebay.

I currently have something like that in my office and it holds up to 5 guitars/ukes.  But, I can tell you right now that it cost me more than $30.  Plus.... my poor thumbs!  (damn you, hammer!).  Here's some notes from the auction:

Welcome!! This piece is carved out of Select Pine and stained brown. It measures 24" x 5-1/2" x 3/4" thick. The black pegs (3/4" soft foam rubber over steel) have 1-1/2" clearance and are 3" long. I will supply two 2" screws to secure the holder *additional hardware may be needed for your application* Thanks for looking, and if you like unique carvings and I'm sure you do, please be sure to check out my other auctions & store inventory. Thank you.

eBay: Vintage Surfer Swagerty Singing Treholipee Ukulele

UPDATE:If you found this page looking for a Treholipee, then check out the following deals:

Wow!  I've never seen, nor heard of, one of these before.  Take a gander:

Swagerty Singing Treholipee

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Treholipee Ukulele.  From the auction notes:

Being sold out of local estate is a vintage Swagerty Surfer Ukulele. Called a "The Singing Treholipee". Made in San Clemente, CA, licensed by Don Gardner. From the 1960's, these Ukulele's were used by Surfers. The long headstocks were stuck in the sand while they were surfing. Measures approximately 47" in length. It is in very good condition, except that it is missing one tuning paddle and one tuning paddle is broken off. Please see pictures. Sold "As Shown". I have seen replacements paddles sold on Ebay. Will make a wonderful addition to any collection!

It sounds like this particular Treholipee Uke could use some love, but it's still freaking gorgeous!  I searched through past ebay auction data (check out http://easypriceguide.com to see how) and based on the past 90 days of eBay data, Treholipee Ukes sell for about $186 (on average).  So, it sounds like this auction might be worth watching more closely.

Ibanez UKS10 Ukulele – Anyone got one?

Ibanez UKS10 Ukulele Soprano with Bag Natural
Has anybody picked one of these up yet? For $49.99 it seems like a pretty great deal, especially considering that you get a gig bag with it as well.  snixxx, on Twitter was asking me about it and I told him that I'd do some research.

I'm half-tempted to just buy one and then write about it.  I love my Lanikai but I wouldn't mind "seeing other people", as it were.  So, if someone can get me interested in this uke, then I'm going to go for it.
