Hello Everyone,
We were pointed to your forum by a member so I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Kyle from Legacy Guitar Works. So there is no confusion with my Username, to better align with our product offerings and vision for the future, we will be transitioning to the name Synergy Guitars. Our plan is to have our new website launched next week and I will definitely keep everyone posted on that.
So to answer some of the questions that have been asked, here they are:
1) top is 100% carbon, not a sandwich construction with foam.
2) the neck is hollow
3) nickel frets are standard but stainless steel will become an option very soon
4) strap buttons are included. They weren’t installed at the time we took the pictures. With that said location of the strap buttons will depend on the customer. We can install them anywhere you prefer.
5) we do accept returns as our EBay mentions and a loaner could possibly be arranged.
6) fretboard and saddle are both a composite material (as well as the nut). We wanted to make sure our instrument was suitable for all environments.
7) side sound port could be requested as a custom option. Everything is done in house from the designs, to CNC programming and machining to assembly. Pricing hasn’t been figured out for that option but it’s something we could discuss.
8) fretboard radius - we can Machine any radius you desire. Again, we haven’t priced out this option yet but we certainly can.
And just to clarify, the ukulele’s on EBay are not stock we had made for the Kickstarter. While the Kickstarter didn’t succeed, we believe strongly in our Ukulele’s and hence are moving forward with building them when orders are placed.
One thing that we have struggled with is getting demos of the ukulele being played so that everyone can hear how it sounds etc. I’m happy to say we just met with a a talented musician with the skill to make some high quality demos and you will be seeing those in the very near future.
I am more than happy to answer any questions anyone might have.
Thanks,
Kyle
