Pepe Romero Guitarras Romero PROTOTYPE Custom Tenor Ukulele Model T #1
* NOTE - You will receive the Ukulele in the PHOTOS & VIDEO
** THIS IS IT *** This is the one you want, the Prototype #1 (Labeled inside "Prototype #1). This is the ukulele that Pepe Romero Jr and German Master Luthier Wolfgang Jellinghaus used to get the current specs of the Guitarras Romero Custom Ukuleles.
This ukulele is #1 of all the Guitarras Romero Ukuleles.
Although this is a collectors item from one for the finest luthers in the world, Pepe Romero Jr., this ukulele sounds incredible (SEE VIDEO).
This ukulele was designed by Pepe Romero Jr and build by German Master Luthier Wolfgang Jellinhasu
This Guitarras Romero Custom Tenor Ukulele is something special.
This Prototype #1 Model T has a Solid Flamed Maple Top, Solid Flamed Maple Sides and Back, Rosewood top & bottom binding, wood Rosette and Purfling, hand carved Solid Mahogany neck, Ebony Fretboard and Bridge, Bridge Pins, Premium Open Geared Tuners, Abalone Rosette and French Polished.
What is DIFFERENT with this Prototype #1 Model T vs. the production Model T Guitarras Romero Ukuleles?
- This Prototype #1 has a different headstock
- This Prototype #1 DOES NOT say Romero on the headstock.
- This Prototype #1 has an Abalone Rosette
- This Prototype #1 has a thin black purfling (not the wood Rope design
- This Prototype #1 Flamed Maple Top (most have Moon Spruce)
- This Prototype #1 has a wider lower bout depth of 3 Inches (not 2-3/4) and upper bout depth of 2-3/4 Inches (not 2-1/2)
All Model T ukuleles are French Polished, made of the highest grade wood and materials, and only around 10 will be made each year.
Every one of these ukuleles is hand inspected by Pepe Romero Jr to ensure their sound, quality and craftsmanship.
These Guitarras Romero Custom Ukuleles will serve as a bridge between the Romero Creations ukes and Pepe's Custom ukes, although in my opinion they are closer to Pepe's Custom builds.

* CUSTOM SETUP - Each Guitarras Romero comes with a factory setup BUT I strongly recommend adding a setup especially if you want the easiest playability, have arthritis, or are particular about your setups and want a low action (how close the strings are to the fretboard) please click the "ADD Custom Setup" on this page.
* REQUIRED FOR WARRANTY - I cannot stress how important a humidifier is and I HIGHLY encourage you to get one. No matter where you live humidifiers not only protect your investment but also help the warranty process go smoother because you have taken the steps to ensure the safety and protection of your ukulele. If you ever have to file a claim the first question they will ask if you have a humidifier.
* Either the Oasis OH-18 (OH-32 for extra dry areas) or the Boveda Humidifier are recommended and available here at store.ukelikethepros.com. Click "ADD Humidifier"
*A PICKUP (several brands available) - click ADD Pickup . Normal install times are 2-3 weeks. If you want your instrument sooner please use the RUSH pickup option.
