Hi everyone,
There is this luthier in Ireland who specialises in carbon fibre guitars and really fantastical ones such as this short-scale 12-stringer that sounds like a mandolin (http://www.emeraldguitars.com/acoustic/amicus-12/#x).
I have been thinking that he would make a great ukulele along the lines of the Blackbird tenor ukulele, which I love.
But since he doesn't have one in production, a custom one would cost me a lot of money (he would need to create a new mould and experiment with bracing etc...).
But if there are enough of us who want an Emerald, the cost individually could come down.
Any interest?
