Hi all,
pics added now
a month or so back I snagged a Shinji Takahashi soprano uke, it looks pretty much exactly like a Martin S5 with all the bling/bindings snowflake fret markers and squiggly mother of pearl headstock design,
it's an absolute beauty, not as light as a Martin S3, but built beautifully,
the sound has great character, and is not pingy and bright, but more refined.
I was just wondering if anyone else had a custom Takahashi, this is not a Kiwaya master, it's all hand made by Shinji, no date stamp, but has a label that reads, fine ukuleles for your good life, T's Ukuleles, signed Shinji. T, - poduced/custom
model - CSM-5K
i'd be interested in any info, as I think his customs are very rare.
thanks Mark
