This is a classic--and I almost miss mine enough to pick this one up... GLWS!

Bump to the top. Funny enough, I googled to see if there were any reviews of the Jake strap and this post I made in excitement several years ago showed up. I don't use straps when I play since I'm usually doing it seated, so I actually didn't end up buying one--plus it was indeed expensive at...

Clean looking side port mod! Very cool!

I had no idea that this was a thing...the tenor Sceptre on that site looks awesome. When I sold virtually all of my instruments a number of years back (including my Pineapple Sunday), the Sceptre was one of the very few that I kept...just an all time classic.

Great looking instrument--glad it isn't a concert in the same configuration otherwise I'd probably be unable to stop myself. GLWS!

My wallet is glad this isn't a 3K model with the headstock binding...otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to control myself...GLWS!

Beautiful instrument! That's a TON of bear claw on that top! GLWS--and look forward to seeing what else might make it onto the block!

This had been on my playlist for a while--seems relatively beginner level to start--but we'll see where it goes. The one super valuable thing I've learned already though is how to hold the uke--I always thought my thumb above the neck was bad form but had been slipping into it whenever my hand...

Recently, I have been itching for a Martin Soprano to hang on the wall and play and thought about the uniqueness of a vintage model, but those are hard to buy over the internet without handling. Then I thought about the winter in NYC and how I rarely run the room humidifier...which would...

After buying a HF3-D4I (Jake Blue), I have decided to part with my HF-3L (Long Neck Tenor) to make space in my small New York studio. Tonally, the HF-3L is outstanding—you’ll get sparkle on the E and A strings on the longer scale that just isn’t there on the standard 17” scale. Resonance and...

Note: Instrument does not come in the Ameritage case Coming to Purchase the Kamaka Jake Blue Growing up in Hawaii, Jake Shimabukuro was a local celebrity. It’s crazy to know he’s 42 now, and still king of the instrument—although many outstanding ukulele artists have also come up in the years...

Not sure if this has been around for a while, but I was excited to see that Jake had officially released an official version of the famous custom strap that he's used on his instruments for years. At $60, it seems a bit expensive for a nylon strap, but still very cool...

KoAloha Pineapple Sunday Ukulele with Fishman Matrix Infinity Asking Price: $OLD $1245 + Shipping (OBRO) I have listed this on Oahu Craigslist and prefer a local sale because I prefer that the buyer can see and hear the instrument in person. But I am willing to ship this as well ($60...

SOLD to Uke man! As I am moving to the mainland next year to attend business school, I am selling off a few pieces of gear. The first is this outstanding ToneRite which makes your ukuleles and guitars sound better through "black magic." A few points for interested buyers: Yes, I do...

The pictures are beautiful, but man, from holding and admiring that instrument in person, I could really see the level of care and attention put into building it. The cutout was perfectly sanded and contoured to perfection. The upper bout where your arm would rest is also perfectly beveled...
