After being shipped on Tuesday, My new Mele mahogany 6 string tenor arrived. Here are the pics. They are not uploaded in order but you should be able to figure it out. First impressions: WOW!! I love the sound of a low g 6 string mahogany.

It's funny that as I read this I'm wearing the same green shirt. LOL
 
Looks great John. Congratulations.
You know we'll need sound sound clips next.
This is their standard mahogany 6 string model?
Yikes, they have it in stock.

yes it is their standard six string. I kinda wanted a cut-a-way but I will wait. I actually traded the double puka solid koa tenor for this uke. The double puka suffered some damage and I sent it in for repairs and was offered a variety of options. I opted to get this uke instead of repairing the double puka. It might be had for a low low price btw.
 
That's great! That's what I do when I get a new toy. Lots of pics. Congrats on the new uke! It looks like a lot of fun to play!
