Semi-Custom Ana’ole Soprano Ukulele
New Arrival! Semi-Custom Ana`ole Soprano Ukulele handcrafted in Hawaii by Gareth Yahiku. Ana`ole Ukuleles creates the finest in high-end custom Hawaiian ukuleles. Indeed, a classic building style that only comes with experience but yet a contemporary flair in aesthetics and a sound that appeals to the most acute ears. Only 10-12 ukuleles made per year.
This Custom Ana`ole Soprano Ukulele comes complete with gorgeous master grade curly Hawaiian Koa wood face, back and sides. The wood was handpicked from our special stock of premium woods and provided to the builder for this special project. In addition, this beauty boasts professional Grover open-geared machine tuners for precision tuning less all the weight of a traditional closed-geared tuner. Upgrade to ebony fretboard and bridge and a Honduras mahogany neck for added stability. Abalone ‘paua’ shell position markers and rosette. Upgrade to Ebony wood top binding. B-W purling on soundboard with matching purling line on rosette. Upgrade to high gloss ‘poreless’ nitrocellulose finish for mirror like sheen. Excellent tonal qualities. Perfect balance, crisp highs and deep lows. Excellent sustain on each chord.
Ana`ole Ukuleles typically sell for $1150-$3250 depending on the model. This is a special order with simple elegance and all the tonal qualities one would want from an Ana`ole at a fraction of the price of the full custom models.
Absolutely gorgeous! Gareth is one of the custom instrument builders who apprenticed under G-String Ukulele Co. for a number of years, working on many of the semi-custom and full custom instruments at the time. He now handcrafts his own instruments under the label of Ana`ole Ukuleles for your enjoyment.
A rare find for the true uke enthusiast.
