This should’ve been a NUD, but I was just starting out here and wasn’t versed in the protocol when we bought this, and this is technically not my uke (though I do end up playing it more).
An amazing build and, I think, value for what you get. Not a lot of bling, but the appointments are sharp and look great from a more modern esthetic.
There is one more wood style in their production series, “Tiramisu”, that features a solid mahogany body and maple neck. And while the customs they make are very cool, limited, and different, these production models are truly worth seeking out if you want something that sounds and feels like a made in Hawaii K-brand equivalent and, better yet, comes in under $1k.
Sadly these aren’t available with the same regularity as other brands, but I’ve purchased ours from Mim (this one) and HMS (my Cheesecake), and would imagine anyone here in the US could reach out to them to see about placing an order.
I’ll try to record a sample for my Cheesecake tomorrow while the baby naps.
