For sale is a Honu deluxe model concert ukulele. It is the high-end model by Honu with lots of adornments. The uke features a koa body, maple bindings, abalone purfling, ebony fretboard and bridge with honu shaped abalone position markers and pin bridge. It has a mahogany neck and solid curly koa tuning buttons. It is finished in high gloss. I have applied cling-on pickguards to the upper bout and you can probably see it from the pictures I've attached. The condition of the ukulele is like-new. There are no dents or visible scratches on it. Please feel free to ask any questions.
This particular ukulele was built in 2006 and was purchased from MGM. I believe this was one of the first ones brought into the US to test the market (these were Japan-market models before this year). It is strung with a new set of Worth CD strings and I believe these strings bring the best out of this ukulele. The sound is extremely clear and the sustain is very long. The sound quality rivals any Hawaiian made ukulele in my opinion.
The reason I'm selling it is because I need to downsize my collection. As good as this uke is, I spend most of my time playing a William King concert so the Honu doesn't get much playing time these days. Hopefully it ends up with someone who can appreciate how nice of an instrument it is.
Here is a video of me playing this ukulele.
I'm asking for $425 including shipping to the continental USA. I'm willing to ship outside the continental USA for actual shipping cost. Paypal is preferred.
