 PRICE ESTIMATES 

 Come up with your "dream" ukulele 

Includes: Building your custom uke with your choice of the size of width at nut, your choice of scale length, solid peghead, choice of zero fret or standard frets, choice of low G or high G, economy Grover/Gotoh geared/friction peg tuners (or similar), flat fretboard, and fretboard fret markers. NOTE: DUE TO THE WIDELY VARYING PRICES OF WOOD AND MATERIALS, I ADD THE COST OF PREMIUM TONEWOOD TO THE PRICE INCLUDING TOP/BACK/SIDES, WOOD BINDING WITH OR WITHOUT PURFLING, PEGHEAD VENEER, ETC.  I'll pass on any savings to you.

Soprano Ukulele     $1,000

Concert Ukulele      $1,100

Tenor Ukulele          $1,200

Baritone Ukulele     $1,300

Bass Ukulele  (contact me)

Options Same price for all sizes

 

Cutaway   $175

   A cutaway allows for easier access to above the 12th/14th fret.

​​

Slotted Headstock   $250

   Price includes my choice of upgraded tuners!  Special requests are negotiable.

​

Binding and/or purfling of body   $250

   This adds a great deal of pop to the edges, which highlights the wood.

​

Binding and/or purfling of fretboard   $150

   It's the difference between bland and exciting.

​

Binding and/or purfling of headstock   $125

   Your listeners will notice this more than you will when you are playing, but it draws their attention.

​

Peghead Veneer   $50

   Usually is the wood of back/sides.  I try to find nice pieces to accentuate the headstock.

​

Wood Rosette with purfling   $150

   Again, what's the top without the icing. Pearl/Abalone is premium add on.

​

Side Sound Port   $175

   This allows you to hear what folks in front of you hear.  It brings you into the experience helping you with 

   things like balance.

​

Radius Fretboard   $150

  Many players feel (and I do too) that a radius fretboard is a bit easier to play, especially barr chords.  Guitars have it, why not ukuleles?

​

Case (I recommend Crossrock)  At my cost

   Crossrock hard cases really do "rock."  Ukulele is shipped to you in your new case.

​

Arm Rest Bevel   $250

   Made by adding a strip of wood (matching binding) and rounding it off to make smooth, comfortable 

   place for arm to rest.  No sharp edge, which gives a more comfortable playing experience.

​

Pickup   $150

   There are many choices out there with various costs.  I have used K&K Aloha Twin Double-Sensor

   Pickups with great success.  They will add $120.00 to the cost.  Others depend on the cost of pickups.

​

Custom Sound Hole Design   Inquire

   Let your imagination run wild and I'll see what we can come up with!

​

Other Options

   As we talk about your build, we can focus on exactly what you want, such as type of wood, binding,

   rosette, and purfling, etc.  I can even share pictures of wood before I purchase it.  

   I will be able to give you a more accurate price after initial consultation and investigation of cost of

   materials.  Shipping costs are NOT included. I will ship to you at my cost. Better yet, if you live close by,

   I can meet you somewhere to introduce you!

​

Satisfaction Guaranteed!

   I want you to love your instrument, so I give you 30 days to try it out.  

   If you need me to make adjustments, I'll do it.  

   If you want to return it for a full refund (minus shipping charges back to me), I'll give it.
