I've always wanted a sunburst deep body archtop. You know, with the big old body, f-holes and all that. Kind of like the first thing that you think of when someone mentions the word "jazz". Today I finally got it.



Yes, it's a TENOR UKULELE. Very cool instrumment. Shadow-3 electronics, nice (faux) MOP binding, enclosed grovers, etc. Plays real sweet.

Only "average" acoustically. It's really for plugged in work. It was just so cool looking that I could not pass it up. You have to wear dark shades when you play it to get the full jazz effect. Dave

It's a teardrop burst like the balladeers.

Sort of a "Jumbo Shrimp" Jumbalia model. Sweet Dave!

A more Gibsony TDB than Tacoma. I suggest a medlee of Tracy Chapman tunes.

Loved that TC/ BS tune.

That's a pretty funky instrument.

Maybe Al will let you borrow his beret ... that will totally complete the look.
