READ THIS!

First off, this soprano's neck is slightly off center. You can tell when looking at the fretboard straight on. I didn't realize it until I was stringing it up. The price reflects this. It's structurally sound and should last generations if cared for. The neck being off center doesn't affect the function or playability.

Peghed tuners.
Solid figured ambrosia maple back and sides.
Sitka spruce top.
Figured maple neck, modern C shape.
Black walnut bound ebony headplate with original design tiki god inlay in mother of pearl, recon stone, zebrawood and koa.
Black walnut bound, figured rosewood with "crown" mother of pearl markers.
Black walnut binding.
White side dots.
Bone nut and saddle.
Radiused top and back.
Aqulia Lava Strings.

This uke is loud and sounds great. The figure in the wood is much better than the camera captured.

$520.00

You have some stunning work including this one.
I like the soprano on your website with the black 'batman' style tap plate on it. How much would one of those run for. Or should I have pmed you
 
Thanks so much! I was actually thinking about doing another one with the "batman" ebony plate. I have ten black walnut sopranos cut, I'm sure one of them can be batman. ;)
 
Vic, I'm happy to see you're still making instruments. This one is a real beauty and shouldn't last long. Someone will get a nice one.
