Made by the son of the great guitarist of the same name. Known for his phenomenal guitars, Pepe Jr. now builds some very exciting ukulele's - but using traditional guitar methods and structural details, including a modified guitar bracing system internally as well as a "guitar-esque" plantilla, rosette and head design. They all have 17" scale and are tenor size, with 18 frets, African rosewood fingerboard and bridge, CSA rosewood head veneers. They have arched tops and backs and have Spanish heel neck to body joints. Like his guitars, the ukes have huge volume and extremely quick response. This model, made entirely of koa for the top, back and sides, is beautifully trimmed out with African rosewood binding and features the Planetary "machine" pegs. Pepe Jr. lives in San Diego, surfs and loves Hawaii, so he has successfully combined this passion with his guitar making expertise to produce an exceptionally made ukulele.Daniel Ho recently acquired one of these ukulele's and said the following about it: "From its full low end to its airy overtones, clear melodic register and spot-on intonation, it is inspiring in every way. Like Pepe's classical guitars, I can imagine it being played in concert with no amplification."
