It started about 1 month ago. I became interested in custom ukulele. I went searching for custom ukulele luthiers. From Mya Moe to LoPrinzi. Nothing suit me. I found Mr. Brad on the forum when I still a guest here, before being a member. I emailed Mr. Brad telling me what I want. He emailed back with the price and put me on the list. I asked him for Honduran Mahogany for the back and sides which is beautiful. I asked for Sitka Spruce top. He gave me a stunning one piece top and back. Ebony fretboard, saddle and bridge with bone nut. I asked for tortoise shell bindings but later changed to solid Indian Rosewood bindings with wht/blk/wht purflings due to the fact that they can't be ship to his place. I asked for Koa rosette. He said he make 3 different styles of ukulele. Jonah Kumalae style, Martin Style O, and Ditson style. I chose the Ditson and I think it is a good combination with what I had asked for. He gave me an option to stain the H. Mahogany with Martin/Nazareth style brown. I decided to do that. I asked for crescent moon shape fret markers at 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th fret in abalone. I decided to go with his signature Wa'a sail shape headstock style because it is beautiful plus the woods used for the peg head are Ebony, Koa, and a thin line of maple. His signature logo on peg head in abalone. My name Ben in abalone at 12th fret. PegHed tuners. Of course! They are nice tuners and are easy to tune. They are also look nice.
