Well, I did it. I ordered a custom Mike Periera Tenor Ukulele. I am having it made specially for my wedding on August 1, 2009. I am going to surprise my fiance by playing her a song, with 7 back-up ukulele players. The uke is all Curly Koa with a Slotted Headstock. It has ebony binding, ebony fretboard, ebony pin bridge, and ebony stringers in the 5 peice neck. I had a custom polynesian turtle tattoo inlay (My fiance loves sea turtles) made out of puau abalone by custominlay.com for the headstock in ebony also. I went with the Mi-Si pickup with a preamp. It also has a puau abalone rosette around the sound hole. Mike is putting the final finish coats on it this week and it should be strung up by the weekend. Hopefully it will be in my hands soon. I can't wait. Here are some pics of the build.
