thing is, it's not mango, it's mahogany...
Yep, an older model mahogany. That rosette design has not been used for a while. The older Pono's do not have a radius end fretboard.
I am seeing that PCM is mango. Have a look.
yeah, I saw that too, but it's pretty obvious it's not mango. Guess I need to go take a look see, it's not too far away.
Hi Danno.
Not trying to 'stir the poop' or 'get into your business' but why did say it is 'obviously not mango'?
It looks like one of the straightest grained mango I have seen.
My Pono mango is very straight grained on the top and bottom although it does show a bit of cross grain throughout.
I attached some photos of mine for reference.
If I an wrong about it being a mango then I will buy you a set of new strings and send them to you for free.
Your choice of string set. Deal?
Johnson =)
That is one sweet looking ukulele! Do you like the little string end holders?
Aloha Guys! Just to try and clear things up, the model pictured is an older model concert Mahogany. It's one of the earlier Java-made models. Great sound. Cant really see the label clearly, but it may be a PCE which was a concert electric. Pono used to make them with the pick-up already installed. As far as I can tell from the picture, there is no tell-tale output jack though, so perhaps it is just the wrong label. Rare,but been known to happen...
