My Blonde Koa Slotted-Concert uke

this is my personal ukulele for 2015. i was aiming for a go-anywhere rustic look and i think I've succeeded. it has a very warm, boomy Koa sound. definitely not the loudest build for sure but its smooth and has great sustain. I think this would be perfect uke for recording.
