Aloha UU:
Here is my new Rick Turner Compass Rose with very traditional straight-grained koa that gives it a Kamaka flavor. There is no binding but an upgrade is Rick Turner's famous gloss finish. I love how sleek and elegant it looks.
Thanks to DeForest from the Blue Guitar who had a Gryphon-like run on his CR ukuleles last week! The neck on this ukulele is a little thicker than usual and is the most comfortable I've played.
I put Southcoast medium guage strings on it with two wound and two plain strings tuned to linear C (Low G) and it has made me put all my other ukes back in their cases for now.
This is my first ukulele with a side sound-port, no fretboard markers, and of course the only one with a cantilevered neck. Just an amazing combination of traditional wood with a modern design.
Mahalo,
Don
