Extremely wonderful Kamaka 'White Label' curly Koa tenor ukulele from the 1980s. This gorgeous tenor ukulele is one of the most sought after generations of Kamaka ukuleles by local musicians here in Hawaii.The face, back, and sides are handcrafted from gorgeous Hawaiian Koa wood and this instrument also boasts a Koa wood neck and a Koa wood fretboard and bridge. Nice projection and sustain with nice warm and traditional Kamaka tones. Intonation is set well and ease of play is absolutely wonderful on this instrument. Center balanced in terms of overall weight of the instrument which makes it easy to cradle as well. Highly recommended ukulele. This piece is a wonderful player instrument that continues to hold a very strong collectible value.Overall this instrument is in amazing condition but it does have a few dings and one small pen tip sized whole at the bottom of the ukulele that was repaired. It is right at the butt of the instrument and would be where a pick up would be installed. It is more cosmetic than anything else and totally stable. See photos for more details. Aside from that, there are just a few small surface strums over the upper bout area and minor wear but that's it! It is a ‘must have’ for the ukulele player or enthusiast looking for that classic 1980s vintage Kamaka sound.
