http://www.yowhatsshakin.com/yowhatsshakin/Collings_UT3_Maple_SB.html Alright, alright already! Here a 17” scale Collings tenor ukulele with rare ‘3’ appointments specially built for the 2014 NAMM show. A solid Sitka spruce top in Tangerine burst is combined with quilted maple back and sides. This body with the usual dimensions of 8⅝” width, 11” length, and 2⅞” depth, is double bound (ivoroid with B/W/B/W/B top purfling), has a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, and an abalone rosette. The East Indian rosewood bridge has a bone saddle with 111⁄16” string spacing. The neck is different in that flamed maple is used instead of the usual Honduran mahogany. It still has a C-shaped profile, ivoroid heel cap, ivoroid bound 12” radius East Indian rosewood fingerboard with ivoroid dot position markers, and 1⅜” wide bone nut. The ivoroid bound “Haircut” headstock has an East Indian rosewood veneer with ivoroid Collings logo and 4:1 gear ratio Pegheds planetary gear tuning machines. This gorgeous instrument comes in the original Ameritage case. This UT3 version does not have a separate page on the old Collings website. Instead, a 2014 snapshot for the UT3K is provided. When checking out the Options panel on that page, one can find the tonewoods and burst finish used on this instrument. http://www.yowhatsshakin.com/yowhatsshakin/Collings_UT3_Maple_SB.html#0 cbe3eb4c-daba-4f88-9bc4-a3c62dbb7139 http://www.yowhatsshakin.com/yowhatsshakin/Collings_UT3_Maple_SB_files/Media/P7190007/thumb.jpg http://www.yowhatsshakin.com/yowhatsshakin/Collings_UT3_Maple_SB_files/Media/P7190007/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px;
