Ideal ukulele

nikolo727 · Nov 11, 2008

If you were to have a completely custom ukulele, what you look to have on it.

wood type, shape, size, inlay, etc.

I would have a super kurly koa Tenor , with a slotted headstock, and my name with MOP inlay on the fret board. And Inlay wings on each side of the fret board, right above the sound hole, on the face of the uke.high gloss finish, gold colored tuners, and some sweet inlay around the sound hole and around the edges of the face of the uke.

what about you guys/girls??

I'm not making fun of you, just having fun:
I'd have one made out of chocolate. With taffy strings.

im more partial to the white chocolate uke, with fudge inlay, and chocolate taffy strings.

Not to be off topic or anything

, but I would want such a custom uke:

-Tenor scale
-Slotted headstock
-Spruce top
-Curly koa back/sides
-Ebony fretboard & bridge
-Bindings: body = ebony, fretboard = maple
-Mi-Si pickup
-Custom headstock inlay (my last name in Chinese)
-Radiused fretboard (18" radius)

And voila! Here it is

-tenor
-Mahogany body, painted shiny black
-Maple Fretboard
-lighting bolt fretboard inlay's
-Slotted headstock
-Slytherin headstock inlay (if it's even possible)
-slot bridge

-Tenor
-Black Master Grade Koa
-Rosette Inlay
-Flat fingerboard like a classical guitar
-Bridge/FAn Style Bracing.
-Bone Nut/Saddle/Pins

Now add twice the strings and the top in 5A bearclaw spruce.

The ideal uke is the next one.......and the one after that. I like trying them all.

KoAloha Pineapple Sunday, totally stock. That is perfection in my eyes.

Otherwise...

Concert-sized, Kamaka-style pineapple with curly koa all around, ebony fretboard and bridge, and simple abalone dot inlays.

I like how I'm posting this several hours after getting a new ukulele. Concert flea. Pineapple, of course.

NukeDOC · Nov 12, 2008

before my girlfriend, i used to sometimes go to bed with one of my ukuleles (i was a player... had a different uke in bed every night hahaha). but they never really did anything for me. so the perfect ukulele for me, would at least make me breakfast in the morning.

I've been asked by several people for a few more photos of the Nunes style tenor prototype i have for sale. The tenor is Honduras mahogany with a Honduras mahogany neck and body binding. The mahogany has a subtle pomelle figure. The fingerboard is ebony with ivory position markers and an ebony nut. The nut width is 38mm (1 1/2"). It has a tie style ebony bridge with a boxwood saddle and PegHed™ geared tuning pegs with ebony buttons. It is strung with Worth BM fluorocarbon strings, finished in a soft and natural looking tung oil and wax finish and it has a Mi-Si Acoustic Trio battery free preamp/Baggs UST installed. This is a standard scale 12 fret to the body tenor with a clear and sweet tone.

Seeso, that King was for sale not too long ago via the FMM Marketplace. I had to think long and hard before deciding to pass. Did you perchance become the lucky new owner and thus acquire your ideal uke?

No. I heard about it on sale, but I am one broke mofo.

I passed on that one as well, I regret it.

LoMa · Nov 12, 2008

I guess my dream would be a:

LoPrinzi concert uke with spruce top and rosewood back and sides, 14 frets to the body, nickel Grover open geared tuners, ebony fretboard and bridge, ebony binding on top and back with red dyed wood purfling on top and back and sides, and a red dyed wood rosette. Pearl microdots at 3,5,7,10,12, and 15th frets. Gloss lacquer finish. Low G tuning strung with Aquila's.

I haven't thought about it at all...

Anyway, I do not have the $$$...
:=(

And I do have other very lovely ukes!!!
8=]
