Wow! I'm amazed at how beautiful this is.
It's Narra back and sides with an Adarondack Spruce top, Ebony fretboard with maple binding. The body and headstock have the maple binding as well and there is a very fine piece of ebony running along the binding between the binding and the body all the way around. The top has a black-narra-black purfling. The Headstock is amboyna burl (the burl of the Narra tree); so is the tailpiece which has the maple binding on either side as well.
The sound hole is slightly oval with a segmented Amboyna burl and maple rosette. It has a sound port that is also oval with the maple binding.
I opted for the satin lacquer finish becuase I like the look of the wood without the gloss.
Its strung with Worth MB low G strings and sounds fantastic. I can't believe how loud this is and the low g is really a deep beautiful sound.
Jerry at Boat Paddle Ukulele Co. did a great job. This is my second custom he's built and he does great work.
Just waiting for the custom made case now. UU won't accept my pics because they are too big. No idea how to make them smaller. Sorry!
I found a couple of pictures from during te construction phase. I really love this uke!
