SOLD: 2015 Steve Grimes Deluxe Custom Tenor SB Quilted Maple - Ameritag
Considering selling my Steve Grimes Deluxe Custom Tenor with Sunburst finished Quilted Maple with outstanding looks and sounds. It is in mint, condition, as received new from Steve Grimes. When Steve sent it to me he said, “if this uke doesn’t knock your socks off, send it back.” He was right. In full disclosure, there is a tiny builder finish flaw on the back of the headstock, not really an issue. There are no dings, scratches or damage. This is one of my best ukes. I should sorely miss it, but I’m reducing my collection. Currently, it is tuned linear B with Oasis Brights on the E & A and wound strings on the G &C. It sounds amazingly warm, clear, crisp. Warning: I may not be able to part with it.
