This uke is so special to me. I wanted native California woods. Rick said he had pieces of a sequoia, which only grow in a tiny patch of the California Sierras. He showed me a book that tells about this ancient tree.There is even a website about it: www.theGiantSequoia.com
The one-piece neck is local black walnut, as are the sides and back, and is a great combination with the sequoia. Loud, rich, and resonant. It plays very easily and sounds great when plugged into my little AC-33.
I have ukes with curly, figured woods and inlays. I wanted this CR to be simple, straight grained, and elegant... and Rick delivered.
I'm not going to say my UAS has been cured, but this CR has put it into remission for a while!
I will post a video soon.
