I'm sure where to start this story, so I'll pick the middle... I'm getting my first custom uke built. I started off with what I thought would be a classy look, a nice curly koa with ebony binding. Then I thought "I would like paua on here somewhere." At first I thought just the rosette. Then I thought the top purfling. Now I am wondering about the top, fretboard, and headstock purfling. Heck, maybe even the back purfling.
So, to bling or not to bling? What are your tastes? I'm torn... I've also found very few ukes with top, fretboard, and headstock purfling. I'm not great at visualizing final product, so if you know of any links to refer me, I'd appreciate it. Mahalo!
