If anybody has a Risa LP Tenor they're interested in selling, I'm very interested.
 
In my search for a Risa LP, I came across this guy in Ukraine (or Russia) that makes electric ukes. Seems like he uses high quality parts, but I don't know how it compares to Risa. One drawback would be that Risa holds its market value better because so many are familiar with the name, but if you're only concerned with sound, this might be just as good. I don't know for sure though, I'm still new to all this. Let me know if you think it doesn't compare. The builder is very responsive on Instagram. Looks like his most expensive one is about $500 USD. Looks like he uses humbucker pickups (?) like the Risa LP. But I'm kinda clueless myself. I just want that high quality Risa sound.

(fyi just realized you're the same member I've been talking to on Reddit. Looks like we're both eagerly hunting for Risas.)

I bought an LP when it was first announced. Also had the kidney Risa Bean shaped Strato-clone. The Risa Bean played better, so I sold it. I still have the Bean and just never play it. Would entertain an offer if interested.
 
A few years ago I bought one directly from Germany web site ukulele.de. The prices seem higher there, but As a US resident, they waived the VAT. That made the price very reasonable.
