Wow. Check out that pistachio back and sides. Pistachio keeps surprising me, with grafts, sap wood and tractor blight adding to the amazing colors it produces. I worked hard to get a good book match on this, but honestly, the tree did the real hard work. Its visual boldness is balanced with the wide straight grain of the spruce top and neck, with some straight grain pistachio for the fretboard. Some customers might ask “is rope binding a little too much for this uke?” I always say “No. Go for it.” The spruce is from Camp Westwind on the Oregon coast and the pistachio is from California orchards.
