I had ordered a William King custom concert around last December. Today the pictures are up on his website. It's a Macassar ebony/Adirondack spruce combo. I guess I'm the his first customer to specify some Gilbert tuners becasue this is the first instrument he's built with those tuners. They look pretty cool and William thinks they're great.

Once I have it in hand I'll try to post a couple of videos with it.

Anyway, here are some pics from William's website:

The strategy is to go for the ten or so in his collection that he doesn't play too often. He probably wouldn't notice for days or weeks...maybe even months depending on which one(s) you took. :D

Congrats on the new uke, George!

A beautiful ukulele shown with the complete works of the Bard. Two masterpieces in one photo. Wonderful.

Hmm. Bridge pins. Not many builders use them. Nice.
