Arrival!

The postman brought me a nice big package today. It's the William King long scale tenor! Man it's so exciting to receive a masterpiece custom ukulele, even my dog wants a piece of it.

Anyway, this is a little documentation of the arrival of the custom 'ukulele. I will following up in the upcoming weeks with my impression of it.


The Ameritage case coming out of the package:

The King tenor inside the case. Notice how it takes up every inch of the case:




Showing the extremely curly koa back. Note the Mi-Si charger. It's small enough to fit inside the case accessory compartment:
