This is a very handmade soprano #16 ukulele made by me. It has solid mahogany back and sides, Spanish cedar neck with padauk skunk stripe, rainbow poplar headstock veneer and binding, ebony fretboard and rosewood bridge, corian saddle and nut. The frets and abalone dots are from Stewart MacDonald and it's strung with Aquila strings. It has white side markers. The end graft is rainbow poplar with reconstituted stone inlay. The headstock has my Blue Frog (frog hand) logo inlaid with reconstituted stone and the heal cap is also recon stone and ebony. It has Grover friction tuners.
The side shows a bit of a kink in the waist. It doesn't go all the way through and doesn't affect the uke structurally.
My ukes are like snowflakes, each one is different. I use waterbase lacquer wet sanded and buffed and the finish looks decent with an occasional bit of dust or open pore. This uke sounds good like a mahogany uke should. Nice sweet tone.
This uke does NOT come from a smoke free environment so if you're sensitive to smoke this might not be the uke for you. I'm working to remedy that in the near future. Switching to E-cigs till I can kick the habit.
Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays,
