Trevor has commissioned 6 instruments from me over the last couple of years. He's hoping this is his last, but he said that 3 ukes ago.

It's a 16" long neck concert that will be used to perform. He has another of mine that is strung with a low G in Worth Browns. This he wanted very bright and punchy with a high G in Worth Clears for some of his music.

Custom engraving on the peg head of his design in ebony, with a 12-16" compound radius on a ebony fret board. Bindings are Beef Wood. Gotoh UPT machine heads and a MISI active pickup installed.

I like the Tiger Myrtle alas I have but small amounts and the beef wood it has some pretty cool grain that's for sure ,john.

Yes, that Beef wood makes a nice complement to the tiger myrtle. I remember a previous discussion about what sort of bindings match well with a very figured TM and the general consensus was that there were not many successful combinations. Ebony, or more Tiger myrtle. But I think this is an addition to that list.

Lovely instrument Allen. Can't see why Trevor would want to stop after this one.
Regards

Looks great, as always!

Another Ripper Allen.
You look like you are starting to get the hang of it.
