Having become a tenor devotee, I'm moving on my custom Jazzbox archtop soprano to fund a new project.
It was made for me by Toby in 2015 and is intentionally 'bling-free'! - I wanted to link to the uke on Toby's website, but for some reason the site is down...
It's non-bookmatched, all mahogany, with simply an abalone side dot at fret 7. I upgraded the tuners to Gotoh planetary but will send the originals too. The case is custom made by Toby and although quite a bit of the paint has come off the metal fittings, the changes are purely cosmetic and the case is as wonderful and bomb-proof as when I got it!
I do think that it would benefit from a bit of a set up as I think the action is a bit high, and I also think that, much as I like them on other ukes, the Aquila Reds are maybe not the best set for this little beast.
I've never been one to try to squeeze out the most I can from selling and, as said, I am moving this on as I just don't play sopranos that much now (though I will never sell my Pete Howlett sop!).
So, price represents a desire to move the uke to someone who will love and play it. Commissioned new, the uke and case would cost at least 700.00 GBP.
SOLD
I am in the UK. Apologies that some of the images are not correctly orientated. I did try!!
