The most interesting thing to me about this model is that is has Gotoh Stealths. I wonder where they sourced them from or are they using their own new old stock?
Please, somebody buy this

Really cool stuff from Rebel. I only recently have come to accept the fact I simply cannot play a 38mm nut width; I'm hoping uke manufacturers will consider offering differing nut widths. As I sell off my small group of ukes I'm finding myself drawn to certain brands and woods but they all seem to have 38mm nut width. Great for most players but alas, not for me.Mango AND spruce soundboard... (from Rebel, no less!)
Rebel Custom Tenor (The New Alchemist)
Pictures AND video show the exact ukulele available here. The Alchemist from Rebel Ukulele first came out as a limited run in 2015. It was a big hit but it's been years since we've seen one. Well this is the newest generation with an upgraded look, sound, and feel. The top on this new custom...theukulelesite.com

Rebel Custom Tenor (Arete I)
Pictures AND video show the exact ukulele available here. This is 1of 6 from this new custom design from Rebel. It features a robust new body shape with a full tone you'll love. The top is a mix of spalted figured mango and mahogany wood. The sides are mango and the back is Indian rosewood. It...
So is it the nut width or the string spacing If you look at the photos, there is a whole lot of space on the G string side, but the G to A is the Rebel narrower spacing. Some manufacturers have this wider nut, narrower string spacing which also throws people off that are really looking for wider nut, wider spacing. At least it is really tough to do a narrow nut with wider spacing.

You could always have a nut made with your preferred spacing...this works for going narrower, but if going wider you might tend to pull the A string off the fret when playing. Also, watch out for Martin and their 15° angle on the base of the nut.

Martin has been doing it for years on their tenor ukes..thin 34mm nut width, with 29+ string spacing.

You mean for example, I could order a ukulele with a wide nut and request they install a narrower nut? Wouldn't that create excess fretboard real estate on the edges of the fretboard?
Probably! Or just order a wide nut, narrow string spaced instrument. Like Koaloha, Opios, or Rebels.

No you order a uke, make or have you luthier make a wider nut with the narrower spacing that you like...yes, it will have a little extra space on the edge, but so does every Koaloha and Opio... it's not that much, a mm or so on each side.

Apparently someone is trying to sell the same KoAloha tenor in the marketplace here even though I am currently the high bidder on eBay for it.

Wow, TUS has some definitely high end but amazing ukuleles now.
It looks like the Petros sold already, but they also have a baritone Cornerstone that sounds amazing, and also a tenor Cornerstone from "the tree" that is part of an auction. Counterpoint to the "how much is too much" thread, perhaps. These are very high priced, but I think they're a work of art, (though I'm not a fan of bling on my own ukuleles), so for those who have that much disposable income and find that these would bring them happiness, it's no doubt worth it to them. It makes me happy just to hear the sound on the videos. I imagine it would be a thrill to get to play them. Fortunately, my own ukuleles thrill me to play, too.
The Petros that apparently is sold is here, for those who might find that the sound also makes them happy. (It won't be everyone's cup of tea.)
