I was just explaining to my son how certain things go in and out of style (Crocs, fidget spinners, Pokémon) while other things seem to be…classic. (Levi’s, Tolkien, Miles Davis) I think Spruce and Mahogany is pretty darn classic. It makes me think of the thousands of 20th century American guitars made by Martin, Gibson, etc…and the countless songs strummed on them. I paired these two woods with some simple Pistachio and some rope binding. It has a low g and a pickup too. I love it. The Mahogany is salvaged from a boat shop in Tacoma, the Englemann Spruce is from a luthier’s estate sale and the Pistachio is from California orchards.

“Dear Aaron & Nicole,
I love this ukulele. Thank you both so much for your artistry, and attention to detail. I’m so very happy,
and will be saving for a short scale banjo next !
Best Regards,
A. R. ”
