Frequently Asked Questions
Sinker mahogany is salvaged from riverbeds, resulting in denser wood with unique tonal characteristics – typically warmer, more complex, and aged by the water's influence.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'C' shape, similar to many Martin guitars, but slightly thinner to suit ukulele playing and provide easier access to the upper frets.
The finish is a thin, durable gloss that will protect the wood, and it's expected to develop a beautiful patina and character with age and playing, similar to vintage instruments.
