Here's another one that is a bit out of the norm. Seems like I'm getting a fair bit of requests for something different lately. I guess that's what keeps custom builders in business.
This one was based on a 5 string uke I did a while ago that had the g,G strings spaced so that they could be played in unison, or with some skill the high g could be muted and just the low G played. However this was morphed into an 8 string instrument with the remaining 3 courses spaced as you would expect.
Body - Figured Honduran Mahogany
Neck - Spanish Cedar with CF truss rod
Fret Board - Ebony with 12" radius
Peg Head Veneer - Ebony
Bindings - Cocobolo
Bridge - Cocobolo
Pickup - K&K Aloha Twin
Machine Heads - Gotoh Stealth
Finish 60% gloss lacquer
