Seller ending the listing as he couldn't update the posting with the wood used in the build and was getting too many offers.

New listing is here and he told me he's now not accepting offers (although the posting allows it). Still seems to be a good price.

Here's what it sold for

View attachment 160303

I purchased this uke, but have just sent it back. The neck was starting to pull away from the body at the heel. This is a bolt on neck. I spoke with Kala CS and they believe tightening the screw in the neck block would correct this, but they also said this is not a issue they see on the elite line. My local luthier wasn't certain whether this would be a simple fix or possibly the threaded fitting in the neck may have loosen which would mean the full neck would need to come off and a few hundred dollars to repair. The uke also had dents in the sound board and body that weren't in the pics.

I'm saying all of this because the store plans on sending it to their "tech" (their words) to fix. They will undoubtedly repost it for sale. If you see it and are interested, just know that they may not update the listing to describe the issues and what was done to correct them.

That is a great looking uke at a great price. Brad does a nice job. I can't imagine a better price on a hand built instrument!

Vintage Gretsch (not mine). Pics and description are lacking. Maybe price is low enough for someone to risk it?

That's one good looking ukulele! A little surprised I am to see it still available. Then again, maybe a little not surprised since the price of new instruments is more than I remember even just a couple years ago??

What was your impression of it? It’s on my bucket list to try a Loprinzi

Oh man, sounds amazing.

I want to think this is a MN214 (Anuenue's nylon string travel guitar) without the two lower bass strings but no, UB200 is it's definitely own thing The two sound nothing alike, not to mention the scale and body design.

The same seller has a really fascinating David Gomes baritone for sale made of Milo wood. It looks like it would be well worth the cost of a restoration.

I really looked at this one but eventually concluded that the description didn’t really tell me what all needs to be done. And i know nothing about wood restoration so I can’t accurately gauge for myself what it needs or if there’s anyone in my area that could do it.

Very fair. I went through the same thought process and came to the same conclusion as well. It does seem like the milo is quite rare these days, so I'm sure the end product would be wonderful. I just don't think I'm knowledgeable enough to be the one to do it.

There's something very unique about the tone of a Pohaku, IMO - the concerts I've played are equal parts punchy, chimey/musical, and warm. Would be all over this one if Peter Hurney wasn't already working on a custom concert for me right now...
