I have a 2021 custom build KoAloha longneck soprano ukulele up for sale. This ukulele was ordered custom by The Ukulele Lab and I purchased it new from them. It's made with glossy spalted mango that is also quite curly, and has a thick abalone rosette along with abalone fret dots and headstock logo. This instrument is light as a feather and like many KoAlohas, it takes no playing effort to make it sing with impressive tone and volume.
The condition is very good, with no visible scratches or flaws to my eye. I do want to note that the soundboard has some dishing in between the rosette and the bridge. I've included a picture showing this. The integrity of the build doesn't seem affected by this; there is no lifting of the bridge or any other stress I can see. I had another soprano years ago with similar dishing and was told it happens sometimes in sopranos that are built very light. Please correct me if I'm not accurate in saying that.
The hard case is included, and I'll film a video sound sample this morning. Thank you for looking!
