1950s George Formby Resonator Banjo Ukulele

Well, it's not leaning on a lamppost, but this old Formby-branded (Dallas? British-made? ...reminds me of GH&S products) banjo uke sure has the style going!

Jose gave this one a running-through -- a level/dress of the frets, fitting of a new bridge and strings, and some good setup work -- and it's now playing spot-on. He fit a new nut, too, and side dots.

The construction is very simple on this instrument and it lacks a heavy tonering so it's a nice, easy-to-hold instrument despite its wider head and full resonator. The only improvement I would make beyond what you see would be some geared Gotoh UPT pegs or similar for ease-of-use.
