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.
