Curly Koa Tenor Ukulele 2025 - Sold

Starting off the New Year with this Curly Koa Tenor Ukulele 2025.  This is a standard tenor.

The New Owner said: “. . . I played it side by side with my “K model” and yours blew it away (and that’s before you even get to the looks!). . .)

It’s a match.

Binding:  curly Hawaiian Mango with maple/black purfling accents.  Didn’t need to add any glitz to this one.

Curly Hawaiian Mango binding and accents.

Neck:  Oh boy! I took a bunch of my Mango offcuts and laminated them together with maple strips in between for a fun look and color match.  There is the usual massive carbon truss rod inside as well.  I’m playing with a new neck heal which is on the square side.  Not sure yet if I’ll keep it but it’s kinda fun.

This one went together nicely (they don’t always).  I love this look in Koa and the top/back/sides are billet matched.  Mango accents–it’s all Hawaiian.  What’s not to love about a Curly Koa Tenor Ukulele 2025.  Fun, fun, fun!!!
