Custom G-String ‘Signature Series’ Ukulele

Rare find! Professional instrument / Rare collectors item. Custom made G-String ‘Signature Series’ Tenor Ukulele by Derek Shimizu, President of G-String Ukulele Co.

Derek handcrafted this beautiful instrument of master grade curly maple back and sides and spruce top. The fretboard and bridge are fashioned from ebony wood. There is a slight radius on the fretboard for ease of play. The instrument boasts a Hawaiian koa wood center seam strip on the back and curly Hawaiian koa wood headstock cap, and faux tortoise shell top binding on top and back with black-white top purfling, Hawaiian koa wood rosewood rosette and Hawaiian koa wood pick guard. G-String paua shell inlay on the headstock. The instrument also has professional Grover machine tuners, a button strap on the back of the headstock and a Fishman Prefix “Pro-Blend” pick-up for quick and professional plug and play capacity.

Excellent playability and wonderful sustain. The tones and clarity are absolutely amazing on this instrument. Nice deep lows with well balanced mid-range and crisp highs all the way up the neck. The string action is set very well and makes the instrument a true joy to play. There are no cracks, no repairs and no needed repairs. The finish was considerably worn when I purchased the instrument and so I had the entire ukulele professionally sanded and coated with a new nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The intonation is perfect as well. I highly recommend G-String Ukuleles, they are wonderful instruments and are absolutely amazing!
