SOLD
Up for sale is a 2012 Kanilea K1T with premium koa and satin finish. This uke also has a LR Baggs 5.0 pickup and Waverly tuners. This is my last tenor that I'm selling and it's the hardest for me to part with. This uke has endured many custom and expensive tenor ukes coming through my house and I think it's just a great example from Kanilea. Overall condition is excellent except for some issues I'll list below. It's a fantastic players uke and I'm hoping it will go to a good home where it will be appreciated. Comes with a decent hardshell case that's in excellent shape.
Issues: The original owner botched the pickup install (which is how I ended up with it) and therefore it has a small chip of koa missing at the endpin jack (see pic) and the bridge was filed strangely for some reason so it was then filled with a tiny amount of wood putty (see pic). I had my local luthier check this out and he offered to replace the saddle with a slightly wider one at some point if I wanted but that everything was solid. Long story short, It sounds and plays great, it's structurally sound, and the pickup works perfectly. I am pricing the uke accordingly and also allowing the buyer two days to play it and check it out to make sure they approve.
One more note: I installed Waverly tuners with koa buttons and no modifications were made to the headstock to swap the Grovers out. The mounting and peg holes matched up perfectly. These tuners work well and look like they were meant to be on the uke.
