For sale is a 2011 Tenor Pepe Ukulele. This one has a Spruce top, Brazilian Rosewood, back, sides, fingerboard and bridge. There are abalone fret markers at the 5th, 7th (two of them), and 10th frets. There are also single side position markers at these frets when played from the right-hand playing position. It is strung with high-G La Bella strings. It sounds like heaven, it truly does. Here are some recent reviews of Pepe Ukuleles:

I could go on and on about the great stuff, and it is all well-deserved and true. Here are the negative things: there are some strum marks on the top and the tiniest finish scratch on the back, about an inch long and the width of a hair- it can in the right light and at the right angle. I will include pictures of these.
Comes with a hard shell case and Oasis humidifier. It has been kept humidified and in its case in a non-smoking home. Other than the issues mentioned, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this uke and nothing affects the sound or playability. I only went in depth about these issues because I want to disclose 100% and I want you to know everything.
This uke retails for $2850 and there is a one year wait for them. I am asking $2300 shipped and insured to the Continental US. Since this is Brazilian Rosewood, and CITES applies, I will be unable to ship internationally. Several UU members have seen and played this uke, I'm happy to provide that information as a reference to a serious buyer.
Please excuse the bad playing and sound quality; this is a Rock Band mic plugged into a laptop... but I hope it give you a good idea of what it sounds like:
