http://www.yowhatsshakin.com/yowhatsshakin/Collings_UC2_spalted_pecan.html The vast majority of ukuleles are made with either mahogany or koa bodies as demonstrated by 4 other ukuleles on this site. But in the world of these fine instruments, other tonewoods are used too. For example acacia, mango, ohia, and redwood are very popular nowadays. And this Collings concert ukulele uses (spalted) pecan. The dimensions for this custom concert ukulele are as for any other: a width of 7½”, 11” length, 213⁄16” depth, and a total length of 24”. The ‘2’ in the model designation indicates it is more adorned than any of the ‘1’s. The high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finished body has tortoise body binding with grained ivoroid B/W purfling, an ivoroid and wood nitrite strip rosette, and an East Indian rosewood bridge with a bone saddle for 111⁄16” string spacing. The Honduran mahogany neck has a C-shaped profile, a beautiful dark (ebony?) heel cap, 12” radius East Indian rosewood fingerboard with ivoroid dot position markers, and 1⅜” wide bone nut. The so-called “Haircut” headstock has an East Indian rosewood veneer with ivoroid Collings logo and 4:1 gear ratio Pegheds planetary gear tuning machines. It has the Ameritage case. The standard UC2 page on the old Collings website is archive here (2016). Pictures of this exact concert ukulele are featured in the Collings Gallery though with an incorrect serial number (1115?!) and model designation, i.e. ‘Custom’ does not appear on the sticker. http://www.yowhatsshakin.com/yowhatsshakin/Collings_UC2_spalted_pecan.html#0 c6fa1c78-0204-40bd-9c5d-9db044240df6 http://www.yowhatsshakin.com/yowhatsshakin/Collings_UC2_spalted_pecan_files/Media/P7190001/thumb.jpg http://www.yowhatsshakin.com/yowhatsshakin/Collings_UC2_spalted_pecan_files/Media/P7190001/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px;
