I'm looking at this LANIKAI CUSTOM SERIES KOA TENOR UKULELE at Elderly. Any opinons? yay/nay? anyone ever own or play one?
I love the look of this thing and I'm guessing it couldn't sound half bad...but I'd really love some input from you folks!
I already have a Mainland Mahogany Tenor that I really like and also have a Mainland Mahogany Concert. I purchased both of these in the last few weeks...I also have a Lanikai LU-21 That I've stripped and refinished, new tuners, bridge, saddle and nut.
Solid koa top with select koa back and sides. Flame mahogany neck, 19 fret ebony fingerboard and bridge, ebony headstock veneer, abalone rosette, flame maple, ABS and abalone multi-ply top binding, flame maple binding on back and fingerboard, gold Gotoh tuners with 18:1 gear ratio and ebony buttons plus Aquila strings. Very striking uke.
sku: NKT .. list $580.00 ours $379.00
