We will call this use the Curly Blonde Koa. The Koa has a little bit of compression along with the curl and the color is a little lighter than some Koa.
The entire body is from the same board of solid Koa. This uke has a lot more volume than I was expecting. I really sings out.
You can see the compression a little better in this picture. The line down the back is East Indian rosewood that matches the binding.
I really like the look of the back stripe. I will have to start doing that more often.
Binding, fingerboard and bridge are a purplish colored East Indian rosewood that I think matches very well with the Koa.
The rosette is abalone with black and with trim.
The accent woods are a rich walnut burl. The neck is Honduran mahogany with a carbon bar for reinforcement.
As always this uke has a sound side port that allows the player to hear the same sound as the audience.
