And
The Pohaku Tenor Ukulele is a classic Koa instrument with a classic koa sound. I originally started this instrument as a spec build without a new owner. But, as luck would have it, an interested party got wind of the build just in time to get some specialized additions like the fret board and head stock inlays. I think this will make for a special Christmas for someone special.
