    My guess is that this is a hybrid - a cross between the New Yorker and Excel models. The neck is totally Excel, while the body and tailpiece are New Yorker.

    Sounds great !. Not an Alden’s model as indicated in the Retrofret link. The gold ones with the “tribal” headstock logo were made around ‘56/‘57 for Montgomery Wards…..Montgomery Wards Model 8379. Thanks for posting !

    My fave in the 1930s Style 2, it has that classic uke sound. The ones from the 20s are good too. The 1950s were not as bright sounding to me.

    Forever I will have memories of Steve Howe tearing his up with Yes in early 1975 on the Relayer tour and every show thereafter through 2015! Legend.

    I had to familiarize myself with the tune first as it’s been awhile.. Just funny how it reaches a moment after you do the initial sketch and throw it back down again where I say, “god he knows what he’s doin…”
