For sale is a beautiful custom tenor from Aaron Oya with a sitka spruce top and Hawaiian koa for the body, bindings, rosette, and faceplate. It also includes the Ko'olau slimline arched top hard case which fits it perfectly. As most of you know, Aaron is a custom builder on Oahu, building only about a dozen ukes a year. His ukes are hard to come by. This style tenor is an "MGM Thinbody" because the late and great Michael Aratani (aka Music Guy Mike) had Aaron make his first tenor with a shallower body depth. This is the third one Aaron has made. Body depth is 2.0” at bottom of lower bout. This tenor has big warm tone even with a thin body style. This uke has exceptional sound, playability, very comfy, really easy to play with low action and outstanding fretwork.
This uke is in like-new condition, no issues. I am the original owner, purchased December 2015 from HMS. Tough to let this one go, but have to make some room.
SPECS
Updated: Now Asking $1400 + shipping for this awesome and rare custom tenor.
SOLD !
