Moore Bettah owners. Post your pics here

dkcrown · Jan 20, 2013

Doc J commented in another thread that there should be a place where UU members could post pics of their Moore Bettahs, the same way that Jon started the thread for Mya Moe owners. So here it is. I'm surprised that someone hasn't already done this. It will be really nice to see many of Chuck's musical works of art all in one place, beside his webpage. So it is time to pay homage to the man who has made us all aspire for one of his beauties.

Please post what ever background info you would like to about your uke/ukes. Specifications, serial number, etc.

"The Phoenix"

Serial # 1208
5A Curly Koa
Ebony bindings, fretboard, headplate, and bridge
inlays: recon stone and gold MOP

The cutaway is awesome, Daniel. It has a koa neck as well, which Chuck doesn't use any more either.

Sorry, I meant how old? It's nice to age things to see any progressions the luthiers have made.

My milo/spruce and Stan's milo/spruce are basically the same instrument, except Stan's has the offset soundhole and mine has the standard. I wonder if they sound different?

Lets see if this will work. I just learned how to use photobucket.

Beauty, huh?
