A Few Previously Sold Instruments

We are based in Texas and wanted to do something special for the Dallas Ukulele Festival so we built this instrument from mostly local wood. The pot, neck and resonator are Texas mesquite which features beautiful colors and figure in addition to being extremely hard and stable. We stuck with ebony for the fretboard and peghead overlay since it compliments the mesquite so well. The rose resonator inlay is holly. Tuners as always are Pegheds and the top is fyberskin. We also slipped an armrest in on this one.
