The Big Palangi's 'Ukulele

Serial #: SWWBMT02

Model #: UMCTL10

This tenor 'ukulele is being built for a good friend, Eric H. Aka: The Big Palangi, aka: The Big Easy, aka: Hazy, aka: The Big E, aka: A Big Gay Man, for a definition of "gay" please see below;

gay   /geɪ/ Show Spelled [gey] Show IPA adjective, -er, -est, noun, adverb

–adjective

1. having or showing a merry, lively mood: gay spirits; gay music.

2. bright or showy: gay colors; gay ornaments.

3. given to or abounding in social or other pleasures: a gay social season.

4. licentious; dissipated; wanton: The baron is a gay old rogue with an eye for the ladies.
 
The Big E is a gay old rogue with an eye for the ladies alright, hopefully with this new custom hand built 'uke, he'll be able to show his gayness to every lady or person who is fortunate enough to meet this extravagant fellow with a big heart.
 
Here is a picture of it's humble beginnings.
 
Engelmann Spruce sound board, Black Walnut sides and back, Mohagany neck, and Bubinga Rosewood fretboard.

There will be updates at different stages of this tenor 'ukulele being built so please check back for updates.

  2. Brother, you are the man! Keep doing what you're doing and don't forget to take my calls once you're famous! Great to see the progress on the latest piece, nice wood choices. I'll be watching all the new stuff and experimentation that goes on at Honda ‘Ukuleles with great interest. Malama Pono.
