You know. You're spending the money to get a Hive.
Spend a little more to get exactly what you want now because you can't undo a custom later. The money? You'll find a way.
You're getting the absolute best sounding uke out there IMO from one of, if not the best builder.

This was basically my thought process going into my custom Hoffmann. For the foreseeable future, my Hoffmann represented to me what should be my most expensive instrument purchase for a very long time, and I went ahead and got all the things I wanted now that I could afford. I remember thinking along the process, "wow, these options are starting to escalate cost a bit," but I knew they would create the instrument that I truly wanted to enjoy for a very long time.
As of now, I see my Hoffmann as a long-term, life-loving instrument. So essentially, I am taking the cost of it, and amortizing the cost of it for at least 20 years or so in my head as justification, and thinking of it in that way, it seems reasonable I had the funds at the time, no pressing needs financially anywhere else, and ran with it!
