Blond Gecko

So here’s an Hawaiian Tenor Ukulele made with a blond, curly Koa.  To spice it up a bit, I’ve added my “tribal gecko” laser cut to the back.  The binding is India Rosewood, the accents are Vanuatu Maidou burl, the purfling is red/yellow Maple, and the fret board and bridge are Mexican “Partridge” wood.  The neck is Honduran Mahogany with a Koa/Koa/Koa lamination.   I am using PHD strings but with  Sarah Maisel’s low “G” from GHS ( a bit more tension and volume). Tuners are Gotoh planetary 4:1 and frets are LMI’s gold EVO.   Sounds good to me!
