Woodley White's position as President of the Big Island Ukulele Guild speaks for itself. The construction is flawless. The Amboyna Burl is a wonderful accent to the entire instrument. This hard, dark figured Koa is just tonally fabulous and worth the upgrade.
It has volume to spare and rates highly for us with rich and complex tones, paired with sustain, clarity, and projection. It's loud but loud and sophisticated like a concert Classical guitar. If you find traditional ukes a little bright, this is worth considering.
Here's the low down on this uke, it's brand New out of Woodley's shop but has a little wear, particularly on the Peghead and neck. Nothing structural, just a few nicks and dings. Somehow a little bit of buffing compound residue was left on the heel too. So nothing structural, nothing that is going to affect the tone, and it still comes with Woodley's standard warranty. But because it has this wear (see photos please), we're offering it up at a deep discount. Usually these ukes are in the stores at $2.300-2.600, even without the higher grade Koa upgrade and Amboyna Burl options.....reduced to $1,800.
