Up for sale: Jay Lichty Custom tenor, sinker redwood & paua ferro.
Jay Lichty makes world class guitars and ukuleles, favored by many. This one is no exception. It truly is a top quality sound, look and feel. More about Jay's work can be found at lichtyguitars.com
These are the specs on this beautiful custom tenor:
• Made in North Carolina, completed January 2011
• Sinker Redwood Top
• Pau Ferro Back and Sides
• High gloss finish
• Mahogany neck, slightly on the thick side.
• Ebony Fretboard (looks like it is bound but it isn't)
• Ebony Through-string Bridge
• Fretboard markers are Paua Abalone dots on top and white dots on the side
• Back strip of maple?
• Head Plate Wood: Pau Ferro with Lichty logo in paua inlay
• Nut and Saddle: Bone, Compensation slant mount on the saddle
• Binding is Cocobolo with B/W strips, black white purfling on top binding
• Cocobolo endgraft
• Gotoh sealed gear tuners with amber knobs
• Sound hole 2 ring rosette: Paua Abalone ouser ring, black/white/black inner ring
• Gloss finish
• Tenor,standard shape
• 14 frets to body, 19 total
• Hard case included
Sound is clean and warm with much clarity and sustain. Good balance across the strings, currently strung with Fremont Blacklines and Soloist low g. Action is good for easy fretting and playing. There is no flaw I can find in construction.
The uke is in very good condition, it has some light wear and shows some use (strum marks, a little finish wear, and a couple small faint scratches). Finish is not perfect. While it is not in new condition, it’s not real far from it. No dings or hard wear.
Only looking to sale to reduce my hoard of ukes. I have 2 other sinker redwood tenors.
Here’s my fairly recent sound sample with Fremont blackline strings in c tuning.
