Custom Pegasus Tenor Ukulele

Preowned. Custom ukuleles by Pegasus Ukuleles. Beautiful Pegasus 4-String Tenor Ukulele handcrafted by luthier Bob Gleason of  Kurtistown, HI. Bob handcrafts some of not only the most aesthetically pleasing ukuleles available on the market but also professional recording level instruments for both the professional musician and recreational player. Bob has been handcrafting some of Hawaii’s finest guitars and ukuleles for nearly 50 years!

Built in the traditional shape with a less round-bodied lower bout, this stunningly beautiful custom Pegasus tenor ukulele was handcrafted from master grade Hawaiian Koa wood on the face, back, and sides with a matching master grade Hawaiian curly Koa wood headstock plate. Gorgeous Hawaiian Milo wood or fretboard and bridge and matching Milo wood top and back binding show an elegant contrast with the Hawaiian Koa wood body and tie in beautifully with the overall theme of the instrument. The neck has been carved from Spanish Cedar and reinforced with a carbon fiber truss rod for added structural integrity, reduced weight, and increased sustain, transferring the energy as it moves through the strings and the neck in to the sound box of the instrument with greater stiffness and quicker resolve. The fretboard has been slightly radiused at 16″ for ease of play on the wrist angle in higher positions on the neck. Classic mother-of-pearl ‘Pegasus’ inlay on the headstock with abalone shell diamond shaped position markers on 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, and 15 for quick and easy reference. The heel cap and bridge also have a hand-cut piece of abalone shell as a signature mark of Pegasus Ukuleles. All the shell inlay is solid shell. No laminates were used. Gorgeous black-red-black accent lines on the top, back, and sides of the instrument attesting to the skills of the luthier and complimenting the natural reddish hues of the Koa wood. Side sound port for a monitor-like effect by which the sound projects both upwards towards the player as well as outward towards the audience. L.R. Baggs 5-0 professional pick up system with custom Hawaiian curly Koa knob volume control. Professional Grover geared tuners with pearloid buttons for smooth and precise tuning. The finish does not show play wear or scratches easily and is a combination of shellac and lacquer that produces a smooth satin surface, allowing for a less sticky surface as you cradle the instrument and your hands glide up and down the fretboard.

All of Bob’s ukuleles are meticulously crafted from the finest materials and with stunning attention to detail. They are amongst the most sought after ukuleles and yet some of the most difficult to acquire. A true work of art and one of the most highly regarded luthiers out of Hawaii. Bob’s instruments have perfectly set intonation, are very cleanly built, and offer precise tones all the way up the neck. Nice crisp and clean notes with an ease in playing all throughout the neck. Good volume, sustain, and a classic Hawaiian Koa punchiness with a wonderful mid-range and high end shimmer as well.

Pegasus Ukuleles are handcrafted with all the warmth of true ‘Aloha’. Nothing but the best in high end custom ukuleles from Bob Gleason!!! ID#:230003
