I ordered a HF-3 from Kamaka Hawaii a couple of weeks ago. They said production time was about four to six weeks. I received confirmation yesterday that they started building my uke on August 31st. Not much else to say other than - woohoo!!
Had a school parent pull one out of the trunk the other day...stunning instrument, great tone, I would probably trade my vintage Martin for one- it just sounded amazing.
Congratulations!
Must be sweet to know that yours is actually being made for you specifically. I've gotta experience that one day...
