Jim, Jim, Jim, that ukulele is off the hook, man! Side sound port. Those Gotoh Planetaries are the sweetest I've ever seen. Amazing instrument. Looks super lightweight, to the eye.
Iriguchi...never heard of that luthier. Name sounds Polish.
Congratulations! She's beautiful I can't wait for mine to be done!! My first custom, an Iriguchi. Mine is going to almost the same as yours but will have tamarind soundboard and be a five string with gold fret wire.
I'd love to hear it. It's very unique looking and grows on me the more I look at it. What's the cost if you don't mind? (I have no idea if it's a fopaux to ask):rulez:
@ukejenny - Dave calls his hole shape "wobbly" and Weeble is all I could think of to go with all the wobbly holes. I'm not usually one to name instruments but Dave won't build one without a name.
@icelander53 - I will definitely be putting up some vids and sound clips in a few weeks. I don't have the final price but somewhere around $950 or so once it is shipped. They start somewhat cheaper but the pickup and tuners were significant upgrades and I'm having him send a gig bag as well. Also this was ordered back in August so his prices may have risen a bit.
