Very "classy" look to this one Gary. Well done. I'm guessing with the Worth browns and the sapele that this one has a a smooth, warm, tone. Or can you tell any difference from the other woods you've built?
 
Thanks. I'll add the price.

I agree with NoKaOi these are very nice and classy looking. I reviewed the sound clips on YouTube. Nice sounding.

Would you consider a radius neck?

This sapele sounds less bright compared to the spruce tops I have built.

If this one doesn't sell soon, it will be a keeper for me. I need something to strum on at the UWC next month.
 
Yesterday, I took my Gary Gill Tenor with Douglas Fir top out to my local ukulele group strum along. This uke is a sound a cannon when I don't mute the back against my body. It's my favorite uke to play in groups as it makes about double the volume of most ukes around me. Oh, and the neck - everybody that tries My Gary Gill tenor loves the neck profile. I've gotten comments such as "plays like butter" and "your ukulele sounds really good". I just smile and say "I know". :D
 
How has this not sold yet?!?! If I had the money, and the wife would not kill me, I would be all over this uke. Maybe it will be around for UWC and some lucky/smart person will play it and buy it
 
Gary ... this sounds very nice ... was still wondering if one was to advance order something could you offer a uke with a radius neck?
