Have a couple of instruments made to my specifications.

Most likely concert size [or possibly tenor but I've not had a chance to sit and get used to a tenor], flamed koa top, back and sides.
Koa neck and radiused fret board with grey cat's paws position markers [front and top side] at the 3rd, 5th, 7th & 10th frets with a pair of cat's eyes at the 12th fret.
Ebony bridge, bone nut and saddles [SIZE="1"][2 saddles one for high G re-entrant and one for low G linear tuning]
Complimentary colour/tone binding and luthier chosen rosette.
A grey cat's arse & tail as a tail-piece/butt end inlay and a grey paw [or grey cat's head] headstock inlay.

It will be the Her Royal Greyness the Woodipotimus Uke

And...

Concert size [maybe tenor but unlikely], English walnut back and sides, sinker redwood top. Luthier recommended neck w/ebony, radiused fretboard & bone nut. Ebony bridge w/bone saddle.
The decorative theme will be amphibious, frogs to be exact [just look at my visitor page and you'll see why frogs are the theme] I don't have an exact vision of the inlays for this piece yet, I'm sure whichever luthier I choose [and can get on the waiting list for] will have amazing ideas to bounce off and around.

This one will be The Sober Frog LWF Uke [much better and way more fun than the large frog tattoo I originally wanted]

The two luthiers I currently have in mind are

This guy: http://www.beauhannamguitars.com/Photo-Gallery.html

and

This gal: http://anakoneke.com/gallery.html

Unless I can find one of the Brit dudes who can do such amazing inlay work.

I'd love it to be this dude but I'm pretty sure I couldn't get on his waiting list or afford his custom prices.
