Hi again, How many other people have NRP guitars with this problem ? My M1 Tricone (made in 2010) has the same problem, but worse with large areas looking bad. I bought the guitar 2 years ago from a good member of this forum, the guitar looked fine then, but I noticed small varnish issues one year later. I took some photos in december 2015, and took again photos in may 2016 and the problems are growing. I have also a NRP El Trovador (made in 2007) that I bought used in 2011 from another forum member :-). Both guitars stay on a stand in my living room and the Trovador is still looking fine I sent a mail at NRP, and they made me the same offer : they'll refinish the guitar which is really great from them, but I'm responsible for shipping, which is at the moment VERY expensive (around 450€ to send the guitar to California !!!). I'm currently exchanging emails with NRP and I believe they are doing their best to address this problem.

Hello Niko. Any chance you could send in some pics - I have an M1 too and did notice a small blemish but not sure if it wasn't my fault.

Hello Peter, I did a photo album for NRP : goo.gl/photos/qoP2uYAh99Z4hqwR6The first photos were taken in december, and the others a few weeks ago Seeing all these blemishes and their size, it's pretty sure it wasn't my fault :-) Nicolas

The first ukulele with that problem (at least in germany) has shown up: www.ukulelenboard.de/index.php?topic=21013.0(for those who speak german) NRP again offers refinishing the instrument but wants the owner to pay the shipping.
