Cocobolo Ukuleles

“Each Cocobolo is a handmade work of art. We personally select cuts of Nicaraguan cocobolo that have interesting grain designs and pretty coloring, giving each ukulele a unique personality of its own.

Nicaraguan cocobolo is a quality tonewood that produces warm acoustics with impressive volume and sustain. The unique sound of a Cocobolo is enough to impress even the most experienced musician.

Unlike many of the factory produced ukuleles on the market, each Cocobolo is handcrafted from solid wood with a limited selection of tools.

We hope that your new Cocobolo becomes a cherished family treasure that is passed down for generations.”

Viva Cocobolo!

Original hard-shell case included.

“We carefully inspect every instrument when we buy it and bring it up to our standards before we offer it for sale. We also do a full set up before we ship.”

Attention to the details:

Our ukuleles are a great value for the money. Handmade ukuleles of this quality often go for $1,000+, even when made from less exotic tonewoods. The upgrade to cocobolo alone costs $300 at Mya-Moe Ukuleles.
Each Cocobolo comes standard with a 12" radius fingerboard, making our ukuleles very comfortable in your hands and easy to play. [We gauged this one at 10” and quite comfortable]
We professionally setup each ukulele with a string height of 1 mm at the first fret and 2.5 mm at the 12th fret. We inspect intonation and fret buzz to make sure that each ukulele is ready to play straight out of the box.
We use a solid piece of cocobolo that acts as a truss rod in the neck of all of our ukuleles. This adds a nice handmade touch and also serves a functional purpose as well by strengthening the neck.
The neck of each Cocobolo connects to the body at the 13th fret. We find this to be our lucky number that centers the bridge correctly in the middle of the lower bout, optimizing sound quality.
*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.

This is a specific item that is also being offered for sale in our brick & mortar location. It is possible that it has just been sold. Please ask if it is still available before purchasing.

*It is our policy to require a signature on delivery of all musical instruments. Please let us know if you prefer no signature required when ordering or we will automatically require a signature.

If you prefer your item to be sent without a required signature Imperial Guitar and the selected carrier can no longer be responsible for the security of the package once it has been delivered.
