Custom Lichty Longscale Tenor Ukulele

Preowned. 2022. Extremely beautiful Custom Lichty Longscale Tenor Ukulele handcrafted by Jay Lichty of Lichty Guitars in Tyron, NC. Jay handcrafts a stunningly beautiful instrument with tones that are nothing short of a remarkable custom instrument. This custom Lichty is a stand-alone instrument with an extended tenor scale length of 19 inches and can be tuned to the traditional tenor tuning of GCEA or one full step down to FBbDG for a more open and full sound. The longscale is wonderful to play and offers a full range of sound up and down the neck for both the novice and seasoned professional with increased spacing between the frets compared to a standard tenor, allowing for more forgiveness when transitioning from chord to chord.

This beautiful Custom Lichty ‘Longscale’ Tenor Ukulele was handcrafted from a musician’s grade set of Pau Ferro on the back and sides with a Sinker Redwood soundboard. The woods are from Jay’s reserve of premium wood sets for his finest builds. The fretboard and bridge are radiused and handcrafted of Gabon ebony wood with the neck being carved from solid Honduras mahogany wood for added stability and transference of the vibrations back into the body of the instrument. Gorgeous Maple wood rosette with a classic maple wood ‘L’ logo in keeping with the theme of the instrument. 19-inch scale length with a zero fret for ease of reach into the higher positions on the neck and greater fret spacing for players seeking a slightly wider spacing between frets. Custom leaf position marker inlays of maple on 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, and 15 for quick reference when playing with a 15-fret joint to the body and 21 overall frets to the sound hole. Venetian cutaway design with Hawaiian Koa wood top and back binding and a matching Hawaiian Koa wood bound fretboard, adding to an elegant contrast with the rich dark colors of the Pau Ferro wood. Classy and functional arm bevel of Hawaiian Koa for added comfort when cradling the instrument. Deep-bodied side sound port for a monitor-like experience when playing, and a Pau Ferro wood headstock veneer are a few more amenities that attest to the functional beauty of this custom Lichty longscale tenor ukulele. Bone nut and saddle. High gloss nitrocellulose finish. Professional Gotoh closed-geared tuners for precise and smooth tuning. K&K Aloha Twin pick-up for quick plug-and-play.

Absolutely amazing tones and a true joy to play. This instrument has excellent projection, sustain, and a wonderful warm sound with great clarity and note separation as well. Very easy to navigate up and down the neck with a comfortable center balance too. Great for picking or strumming, this one is a beauty with an aesthetic entirely unique to itself. #240073
