**I had a customer order this one with a LR Baggs, but decided on another ukulele and returned this one. There is nothing wrong with it. So it is discounted. The pickup is normally $159 to add, so this one is reduced to only $100. So it is a great deal and you get a great soprano ukulele with a great pickup! The pickup has a volume control inside the soundhole. Let me know if you have any questions!**
I can not say enough about the Martin 1 series ukuleles! With the Martin build in the all solid mahogany body, these ukuleles sound just as an ukulele should sound. Warm, punchy, rich, and full with a remarkable projection for a soprano! You will love your Martin S1. The Martin florocarbon strings makes playing this ukulele light to the touch, with a lot of crisp attack for finger picking and smooth strumming projection!
From Martin:
The S1 Uke is a soprano-sized model with top, back and sides crafted of genuine mahogany, joined with a dovetail genuine mahogany neck. Produces a sweet, warm and beautiful sound, and is fun to play for any age musician!
