Hi guys I’ve decided to let go of my Beltona Super Baritone Ukulele as I’m not playing much uke these days and I have a guitar on order from Beltona which I need to make some space for. Although called a ukulele, this is basically a 4 string guitar. It’s tuned D G B E and is strung with steel strings. It has a 20 1/2 inch scale length and a 8” cone. The body itself is fibreglass so it’s super light. As with all of Steve’s work, it plays and sounds absolutely fantastic. I’ve tried to get the best pictures I can but I can’t really capture how good the finish looks in the flesh. I’m looking for £1,000 for this plus £20 UK postage. PM if you’re interested. All the best David

Hi there !
Looks cool. No stranger to Beltona guitars and ukes. Have a non Beltona with bodied baritone.
What string do you use, gauge-wise, & which ones are wound strings ?
Any videos ?
Thanks

Hi Snakehips
I’ve only had it about 4 months and haven’t played it loads so I’ve not actually restrung it yet so I’m not sure what gauges are on there if I’m honest but there pretty light. The bottom two are wound though and the top two are plain.
I don’t have a video but if you’re interested I’d be happy to have a quick chat on Skype or something and give you a quick demo. PM if you’re interested.
All the best David

Hi again ! That would be cool, maybe later, or tomorrow. I'll be in chats with Steve Evans at some point soon. I've sent him a 12-fret Duolian to sort AND to fix my Beltona/Francis wood top / fibreglass back&sides 5-string - as I dropped it on my concrete garage floor. Ouch !!! And it already had two cleated cracks, from a previous drop !! He's gonna completely replace the uke's top this time. I could ask him about your instrument, UNLESS you'd rather I didn't ?

Ouch that looks like one hell of a drop!! Steve will get that good as new again though 😁
I’m happy if you want to ask Steve about it. I haven’t told him I’m selling it but I’m sure he will understand as I’m doing it to make room for one of his guitars 😁 it’s not cause the thing isn’t awesome, it’s just not getting played.
I’m around most of the weekend so give me a shout when you’re free if you want to take a look.
All the best David
