First "production" tenor from Tinguitar.com

tinguitar · May 20, 2011

Hi all. I posted pics of my prototype tenor ukulele a little while ago. This one is the first "production" version and I'm rather pleased with how it turned out. I think it has a bit of an Art Deco look to it, with the maple & ebony accents.

Specs:

Body - 30-year-old Brazilian mahogany. Maple bindings & soundhole ring.
Neck - Brazilian mahogany; ebony fretboard (cambered) & ebony head veneer.

Peghed tuners
Bone nut & saddle
Artec passive pickup

What do you think?
Rob.

Aloha rob,

Cheers. I braced this one a bit lighter than the prototype and the result was much brighter and more lively sound-wise. Like typical tenor with an added hint of soprano character, if you see what I mean.

This one sold before I had a chance to make a recording with it - the price was £425.

Thanks for looking,
Rob.

I like it a lot, it does have a bit of a deco look which I'm hip to. I wanted to see a slight v shape in the headstock but I like that one too and I've used it. Now, I was thinking yesterday of a bridge design just... like... that one lol, only in a little rectangular soprano bridge, looks great.
