Location: Phoenix AZ | 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.
