I am the proud owner of a new custom tenor ukulele made by David Webber of Webber Guitars. David is a world renowned acoustic guitar builder out of Vancouver Canada. He has been building guitars for over 25 years and is highly regarded in the acoustic guitar circles and forums.
A bit of a funny story as to how I happened to purchase this. I have stated here on this site before that due to an issue with my left hand ukuleles with a radius fretboard make barr chords possible for me so those are the only ukes I am purchasing at the moment. I had heard of Webber on this site due to member Patrick Madsen repeatedly saying that his Webber baritone was a stellar instrument and he held it in as high a regard as his Moore Bettah tenor. I know member bobmyer had one he really loved as well.
An internet search showed Bluedog Guitars, a retailer in Vancouver sold them. I noticed the baritone was listed as having a radius but the tenor did not. I emailed David asking if his tenors had a radius and he said no. This was back in February and later that day I purchased a Mya Moe sycamore tenor, which of course has a radius and I was very happy. The next day David emailed me a picture of two tenors he was building, the necks were not attatched or fretted and he said it would be easy to radius the fretboard at this point. Oh no..........just bought sometime real nice.......damn........ok do it.
It has an Englman spruce top, cocobolo back and sides, honduras mahogany neck with tobbacco burst finish, curly maple end graft, headstock logo and heel cap, curly koa binding with fine BWB rosette and purfing.
