I really LOVE the new soundhole designs! Is Caramel sneaking up on Luna Guitars and Ukuleles?

Nickie I ordered a tenor from another maker, it is called Strong Wind and is mahagony laminate, the top is only .075" versus the Caramel zebra wood top which is .088". Comparing it to the Caramel tenor I am inclined to favour the sound coming from the thinner top. The sound is everything as we all know. The new acquisition has a tie bridge which I changed to a string through as is my custom.
I also had to adjust the nut and the saddle to my liking. Here are a couple of shots.

Here are some shots showing how I change the tie bridge to be a string-through Nickie.Congrats on the new uke! How did you change the bridge?
Thank you for playing your Caramel Baritone for us. I really enjoyed your comparison, playing with and without the pickup. As you say Dooke, the workmanship and attention to detail both inside and outside is very well done. The book matching of the Zebra wood is nice. I like the new bridge and the bridge pins. Here is a shot of my tenor. Sorry it is not a baritone like yours but the top and bridge are comparable. Jim.View attachment 100930View attachment 100931
