Hi there,I see that my Resonator Uke Video of “I know you rider” was posted on your blog, thanks. I hope you will consider adding me to your list of custom builders. I make some rather unique resophonic Ukes.
I also post build pics and info as well as video clips to my FB page so folks can see the building process. https://www.facebook.com/JavaJones
Custom build prices tend to be quite high, but these things take many many hours of work to build…It really is a labor of love,
Mahalo,
John Cook
Lightnin’ custom resophonics.

Mr T’s Guitars might belong here. He makes Kiwayas, but also custom-made ukes under his own name. Site’s in Japanese, but Google Translate is there to help, as always.

Thanks for pointing out the omission, Jon. I've fixed it and included your comment.

No mention of Peter Hurney and Pohaku Ukuleles? I own two of Peter’s ukuleles. If I could afford them I would own more. The first uke I bought from Peter was a curly mahogany with cedar top soprano. It is simply one of the best sounding musical instruments I’ve ever heard. I can play it side by side with any other good ukulele and everyone, including non ukulele players is impressed.
Peter also has a wonderful sense of fun. I think many of his instruments are visually both clever and lovely.
