If anyone is itchy for a custom, you can't go wrong with a uke from Brad. Just from emails back and forth with him, I got a dream uke that fits me perfectly, tailored better than my expectations because Brad knows all the things that I don't about building, and filled in all the blanks for me. If all my ukes but one had to be sold, his would be the one I would have to keep.
Aarrrgghh!!! Since you guys already contacted him, the wait list is now 6 months!!! I'll think about it for a few days to see if I can wait that long. Only risk is that once I decide, it'll be a nine month wait. lol
Hey, my Bradford soprano looks just like the one reviewed and I have to say that to these untrained eyes and ears I would agree with everything in the review. I saw mine in Dusty Stings in Seattle and loved the sound immediately and recognized it as a fantastic deal. The only thing I could possibly add to the review is that it is so cute and sounds so good, my wife also fell in love with it and didn't say anything about me getting another uke! It doesn't get any better than that.

I'm expecting it be pretty much just like that w/any refinements Bradford might be doing since building several of these. I'm sure that it will be amazing!
Hi everyone. I'm the proud owner of the actual Vintage S in Tim's lovely ukeeku review. Tim had it for review loan, and featured it at UWC 2010 and sold it to me on behlaf of Brad about two months ago.
It's a gem, a real gem. I own, and you'll think I'm nuts but I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it, a KoAloha Soprano, and I like Brad's uke more. Brad's vintage S is small and tidy and easy to hold, the Peghead tuners work flawlessly, and I appreciate that the action is real low on the strings (with not a buzz at all) so it's easy to pick and strum. And it plays with such volume, impressive. I play it almost every day.
I think one of it's key features is the lightness of the instrument and the thin solid koa wood. It rings like a bell!
If anyone considering an order from Brad needs info (dimensions, etc.), let me know. Love it, love it, love it. Appreciate knowing Tim Ukeeku and owning Brad's gem, Vintage S. You will, too.

I wondered who might be the owner of that one or another like it. I was wondering what case it might fit, so it would be nice if you could post the dimensions. The usual measurements - overall length end to end, width at upper bout, waist, & lower bout; length from body to the tip of the peghead; body depth should about do it.
It looks so similar to the AnueNue 1879 that I wonder if it might fit the cases they have for that model - looks somewhat like a violin case. Anyway, looking forward to having it in hand.
