NUD: Kimo Custom Super Tenor Moon Spruce/Koa
Hi all. Just wanted to share a new creation that I just got from Hank Johnson of Kimo Ukuleles. The is my second custom super tenor from Hank and this one came out gorgeous. We went with a Moon Spruce Bear Claw top and 4A Koa for the back and sides.
The uke is very comfortable in playability. Sounds clear and articulate with some great volume. A little brighter sound than my Redwood/Rosewood but significantly lighter in weight.
Hank is a master craftsman and an underrated luthier. Highly recommend him. He is a great guy to work with.
Edit: The upload of these pictures is funky. Maybe check this one out.
Body: 4A Koa
Soundboard: Swiss Moon Spruce (bear claw)
Purfling and Rosette: Ebony with B/W purfling
Binding: Ebony
Accent woods: Asian Black Palm
Neck: Satin finish Honduran Mahogany
Fingerboard and Bridge: Ebony
Headstock: Ebony
Strings: Romero Low G
Tuners: Gotoh UPT
Amp: Misi
