New D S Gill Tenor Pineapple in the house!

A new D S Gill mahogany pineapple tenor arrived at my house today. Woohoo. It's truly everything people said it would be. Fantastic.

It's all mahogany with a fretboard and bridge that are quarter sawn walnut. The diamond-shaped shell fret markers, herringbone rosette and end graft add to the beauty of the satin finished body.

The fit and finish are great, very smooth. I love the neck thickness, not too thick, not too think. The sound is very resonant with a clear note definition and a nice full tone, not boxy like some pineapples. This uke is as nice as any K brand or custom.

Here's some pics and a sound sample.

That sounds great. Of course I'm a sucker for mahogany.....
Is the top bookmatched vertically?

Yes, the top is bookmatched. The wood has a shimmery quality to it when you move the uke.

Congrats, welcome to the club.

Wow Doc, it's gorgeous. Very elegant. Love the rosette. Congratulations mate!

Looks and sounds great Doc. Congrats on your new pineapple.
