Hawaiian curly koa face, back, and sides, ebony wood fretboard and bridge, ebony wood headstock cap, rosewood top binding with ebony and maple purfling on sides, black-white-black purfling on soundboard, abalone ‘paua’ shell inlay of [KK] on headstock, abalone ‘paua’ shell rosette around soundhole, mother-of-pearl [A.F.] inlay of former student of Jake Shimabukuro “Aaron” on fretboard, single top-down perspective side position marker on seventh fret, honduran mahogany neck for added stability, poreless high-gloss nitrocellulose finish for beautiful aesthetic appeal, German-made Schaller professional geared tuners for precision tuning, factory installed Fishman under-saddle pickup for quick plug-n-play feature, and a tone that rings custom Kamaka! This is a serious musician’s instrument!
Absolutely wonderful sustain and clarity. The overtones of highs, mids, and lows are all very well balanced and all the way up the neck too! This uke is a true joy to play. There is something to be said about a custom Kamaka that makes the tones and playability so much more enhanced and richly complex when compared to the standard production models. Excellent clarity, deep lows, and crisp highs, wonderful sustain, and enhanced projection. Highly recommended uke!
Kamaka no longer accepts custom orders so this is a very rare instrument. A true gem and a very very unique custom tenor ukulele from the world’s most recognized ukulele luthier, Casey Kamaka of Kamaka Ukuleles.
