| Thought you may like to see this offering on the Bay? Found it kinda neat that someone would custom make one of these and use the Ovation soundhole style.

Location: Midland, MI | First, I'm with Calman...good thing it's not palm tree'd.
Second, that thing has some beautiful wood in/on it.
Third, Holy Smokes! I'm checking out eBay from work just to look at a freaking ukulele?! I think I have a problem. Or I will...
Fourth, too much money...I've owned cars that cost less. :p |

High humidity and heat, resistance to sunscreen and sex-wax...
This deserves some onsite investigation! |

Location: East Tennessee | This has nothing to do with Uke's, but I'm going to ask.
If so many people say Ovations aren't any good, why do so many instrument companies copy their designs and styles??
Hope somebody enjoys a new UKE. |

2. people think Ovations sound like shit so naturally they won't be disappointed when thats what the copy sounds like
Don't be mislead that so many knockoffs copy Ovation. The number is miniscule compared to how many copy Martin. I mean, basically every wooden box guitar out there is a rip off of a Martin. |

Contact the seller, he has sold similar Ukes on eBay before. Maybe you can have one special built to your specs? |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | I strongly resent the impression I am getting that there is some humourous element to a VERY serious and difficult instrument. I thought I had settled this argument once and for all.
Some of you may not believe in Ghosts, but we are REAL, REAL. Don't mess with the unknown.
"Tiptoe Through the Tulips" should be the American anthem, all instruments larger than a shoebox should be destroyed.

two Uke's are better than one!
