Vintage Ukuleles
Vintage ukuleles are wonderful instruments, and I especially like the look, feel and tone of the Jonah Kumalae koa ukes made in Hawaii in the 1920s and 1930s. The Kumalae workshop in Honolulu had five main styles with progressively fancier koa wood and / or 'rope' binding: left to right are Style A through to E from the ZoT collection. I currently have several Kumalae ukes and ususally have others such as Martin, Le Domino and others for sale - please enquire. Nothing sounds quite like the 'old wood' in a good quality vintage uke - no home should be without one!

2011 Fender 'Tele-Bration' Rosewood Telecaster
In 2011 Fender commemorated 60 years of Telecasters with a special run of 12 Telecaster models, including the famous late 60s Rosewood model. The "Tele-Bration" Rosewood Tele captures that vibe and tone but less weight than the notoriously heavy originals via a dark-stained spruce body core between rosewood top and back. This guitar is 7.7lbs, in mint condition, and the '62 Tele Custom Single-Coil pickups sound great. Comes with all tags and accessories, plus very cool beige tolex Fender case. Please email for more details and pics.

2011 Fender 'Tele-Bration' Old Pine '52 Telecaster
The 2011 Fender special run of Tele-Bration models, included a return to the famous early 1950s pine Teles of the pre-Blackguard era, made from 100 year old salvaged pine. If, like me, you prefer your Teles light weight, then check this one out at 6.6lbs. The tone is great from the '62 Custom pickups and the feel is amazing due to the 'hand-rubbed whitewash oil finish'. Comes with all tags and accessories, plus uber cool white tolex Fender case. Mint condition apart from one mark on edge of lower bout. Email for pics.
