Uke #5

This one is commission from a man I know out in San Diego.  He wanted a surf theme.

It is an Ashton Chruchill box with a red oak neck.  The finger board is rock maple with a coco bolo rosewood strip in the middle.  Bone nut and saddle with rod piezo.  I did the surfboard art work using clip art on MS Word and Photoshop.  The map on the back is part of a surfing guide for San Diego.

Your friend will be pleased. I spent a week in La Jolla in 09 with the Windansea Beach at the end of our street. This is nice work, how does it sound (I have the same box)?

It is a good sound. I want to build more using the same box.
