Hello,

I was looking for this toy since a long time and he's now at home since this morning.
I love it because it a so nice instrument and it sounds good.
According the seller, this is a limited run especially made for Hawaii but I don't know anything else about it.
Maybe someone could give me some info about this model??
He looks like a "baby Ovation" and he's got his place in my music room with his red soprano brother all his sisters. :D

J :)

MORE PICS HERE!!

That's a beauty, and being a tenor, it probably sounds good too. Congratulations, Jérôme. Now you need to build a new cabinet for the amp out of koa.

Beautiful Jerome!! Nice flame in the Koa. But it's only got 4 strings and they're made out of fishin' line. :D

This Uke is awesome, Jerome! It even has a preamp like his big brothers. Enjoy it,

Karl

Jerome, That's a BEAUTIFUL looking Uke. Congratulations. The seller is correct, those are a limited run of tenor Koa's. The next F&TFF performance is already in the planning stages.

I'll take it with me for the next performance even if I forgot the chords of "A Wither Shade of Pale"!!
I'm now learning "Something" from the Beatles and I'm not too bad... ;)
The Uke is a very funny instrument and I'm motivated to learn.

It's a Celebrity model made in Korea but with the Ovation logo on the headstock.
It's my first Ovation instrument from Asia and I have to admit that I can't find any defect on this one!!
The action is low, very easy to play and the finish is perfect.
