Caught myself a bad case of UAS and have to sell my baby to pay for my new one. The older of my two daughters is quite relieved that it doesn't work this way for real babies, but my younger one seems to like the idea of being an only child. Creepy .
This is a 2007 model K2 custom super tenor (http://kanileaukulele.com/k-2_superTenor.php?osCsid=35d17af3d7c589e1c279648b9341eb49), in like new condition. Please note that the picture on the Kanilea site is a normal tenor, and doesn't show the larger lower bout that the ST has. Pics below. Kanilea says that the larger soundboard on the ST increases sound projection. Here is a recording of me playing it: http://yourlisten.com/Russell.Barnett/gm-7-16-15. Please forgive the bad playing and just focus on the instrument's excellent sound.
The first owner bought it in 2007 but never played it. I bought it in Feb 2014 and have played it nearly daily since then. No scratches or scuffs. It is a great instrument that plays beautifully, and I am only selling it because I have a custom from Maui luthier Ken Potts being built right now.
Here is info on the instrument from Kanilea themselves:
"The K-2 Custom Super Tenor you are now the proud owner of (serial no. K0507-977) was completed on May 4, 2007. Here are its specs:
• Deluxe Curly Koa Back, Sides and Sound Board
• Rosewood Fret Board and Bridge
• Front Binding
• B/W/B Rosette
• Open geared tuners – Gold"
The tuners are Grovers, and the fretboard is 1.5" at the nut, non radiused - just in case anyone is interested.
Comes with a sturdy pro-tec baritone case (in case you aren't familiar with Kanilea Super Tenor models, the large lower bout means it doesn't fit in tenor cases, so it has to use a baritone case). Asking $1000 shipped via paypal (by either no fee transfer or you cover the fees) or cashier check. I have a uke crazy hard case which I will substitute for the pro tec for $40 extra (half the cost of $80 when I bought it two months ago).
Pictures below, let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
