I'm going to commission Fred Shields to build me a tenor after deciding not to buy a production uke. I have some questions on wood pairings and wanted to get some advice. I already have a Kamaka soprano(Koa) and a solid mahogany concert. I am looking for something different and not just the classic uke sound. I don't want to use "guitar-ish" as a description but I want it to lean toward that way. I want a nice sweet balance between warmth with some brightness. I primarily strum. Currently I am considering these wood pairings. I am open to comments and suggestions. Thanks
