What can I say, custom Kamaka ukes are amazing! I’ve owned a number of custom Kamaka ukes thus far and each one (all koa body,redwood top with maple wood back and sides, or spruce top with koa back and sides) each has its own aesthetic appeal in my opinion but they all play and sound incredible!

The spruce top really brightens the tones and makes for a remarkable combination of tones with the all koa wood back and sides. The soundboard has has been worked on and it has a wood grain hairline that has been reglued on the bass side of the lower bout. It is barely notacible and the slight discoloration from the repair can only be seen under a certain angle with excellent lighting. I’ve come across a couple of other custom Kamaka ukes built with a spruce top and this one is certainly one that stands out tonally in a great way! Crisp, clean and precise. Nice deep and complex low tones with excellent mid-range and crisp high too. The uke also has exceptional volume and balance all the way up the neck. Great projection as well. There is certainly a player’s – “presence” – about it.
