We're up the road a ways from the horrible fire in and near Paradise, California. Through a local nonprofit, my wife and her buddies are getting together a package of clothes, toys, other items and cash for a family that lost everything.
All proceeds from the sale of this instrument will be used to purchase trade tools for the dad and the balance will go toward other necessities and cash for the family.
I finished this tenor within the last year and kept it for myself. It hasn't been played much. You know how that goes when you have access to too many instruments. There are no dents, scratches or other signs of use.
There is a small finish defect on the body at the heel of the neck and the sides turned out a bit browner than the back. These can be seen in the photos. Otherwise, the instrument is in prime condition and has pretty much all the options that I offer.
The specifications are standard as shown on my web site. Here are the particulars:
Cocobolo back and sides
Honduran mahogany one-piece neck
Curly koa rosette
Sitka spruce top
Radiused fretboard
Ebony bindings and tail graft
Ebony fretboard, bridge and peghead overlay
Side sound port
Pore-filled, glossy polyurethane finish on the body
Pore-filled, satin epoxy finish on the neck
Gotoh UPT tuners
Strung low G with Thomastik-Infeld basses and Savarez trebles
Black leatherette Oahu case (courtesy of theukulelesite.com)
The tonal quality is what you would expect from a rosewood instrument.
The regular price for this instrument would be $2210. Sale will be to the best offer over $1000 (plus shipping and insurance) received by 6pm PST on Sunday 12/9.
Shipping must be to a US address because of the CITES restriction on all true rosewood species.
