I've played a few of Owen's ukes and they are very nice. He pays close attention to details and has produced some pretty stunning instruments. One thing I've noticed on the ones I've played is that the necks are a little beefier than most. Some prefer this and, as a matter of fact, I made my latest spruce top tenor a little deeper also to see how it affects my carpal tunnel issues. If you like thin necks then you may wish to discuss this with him because I'm sure he will accomodate your needs.
