Palm Tree Ukuleles are handmade in Manitou Springs, CO by John Ramsey (former owner of Avenue Guitars). Click here to view more photos on AvenueGuitars.com.
The Style 3 is John's interpretation of vintage designs from famous Hawaiian builders like Nunes and Kumalae.
These models feature a koa body and neck with a vintage headstock pattern. The Style 3 also has custom-made koa and maple “rope” design for the binding, rosette, and fingerboard strip.
Gotoh UPT planetary tuners offer a classic look with smooth and precise geared tuning.
Tonally, Palm Tree Ukuleles are warm and open with a rich, harp-like quality. The unique concert pineapple body shape has a slightly larger soundbox than a traditional hourglass-shaped body for a bit of added resonance and volume.
