Probably my prettiest ukulele, but if it doesn't get played enough, it has to go. I purchased this ukulele earlier this year thinking that a high-quality baritone uke would satisfy my itch for a deeper, richer-sounding instrument. At the same time, I started seriously playing a classical/crossover nylon-stringed guitar. Since the top four strings (D-G-B-E) are the same on both, I found playing the six-string guitar much more satisfying. I will soon receive a new Jupiter Redwood & Walnut Tenor, so I need to move out an instrument for both financial and storage reasons.

It's currently strung with stringsbymail.com Oasis Fluorocarbon DGBE Strings, "Southcoast" custom set.
Condition is exactly as received from the builder with no visible scratches, scuffs, dings, dangs, or oopsies!
Please let me know if you're interested or need any additional photos or information. Payment by Paypal (Goods & Services) only (or cash if you're local). I'm offering free shipment to CONUS. Sorry, because of the size, weight, value, etc., I cannot ship internationally.
Minor Edit: Side dot fret markers were not installed in the original construction (an oversight!) I have added some stick-on "pearloid" dots to the side of the fretboard. These can be easily removed or replaced if desired.

This Custom Instrument has a 20” scale length with 19 frets tuned to DGBE. It has a K&K Aloha Twin double sensor pickup. A 15’ arch on the back, quarter-sawn split braces, and solid linings increase volume and sustain.
The entire build is top quality with sensitivity to playability and clear sound.
Top is Full Figured fine grain Bear Claw Sitka Spruce - Sitka sounds great for heavy strumming, light fingerpicking, and everything in between.
The Solid Figured Koa back and sides give the instrument the Hawaiian look and sound and it looks stunning.
The neck is a 3 piece Mahogany/Maple/Mahogany for strength and long-term stability.
It has an Ebony fretboard and Bridge. The Bridge is “string-through body” to ensure the maximum vibration from the strings transfers from the bridge to the entire top.
Additional items include Warhead Club-shaped sound hole for the player to hear the sound and a Warhead Club inlay at the butt plate, The peghead has an inlay of a Hawaiian Spearman. The rosette is black/white MOP/Herringbone/white MOP/Black and body bindings are Mahogany with white MOP and black purfling. Fretboard markers are white MOP shaped as “W” for warrior.
It has Waverly chrome tuners with Ivoroid buttons and is finished in high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. Hard Case included.
