Do not hesitate on this one.
This is a handmade custom ukulele by the one and only Pepe Romero Jr.
You may know Pepe by his Romero Creations line of ukuleles (such as his Tiny Tenor, ST Concert, or Grand Tenor) but this one is not just designed by him but actually hand crafted by him.
Pepe is one of the most sought out guitar builders in the world, coming from a long line of professional touring classical guitar players, The Romeros, he decided to take his talents to building.
His classical guitars can easily go over $25,000 and still there is a 5 year wait to get one built.
Lucky for us, Pepe has been focusing more on his custom made ukuleles, and fortunately Pepe is a good friend of mine and has been building Uke Like The Pros custom ukuleles as his schedule allows.
This one came to me as a complete surprise.
As I had just received 3 of his custom ukuleles I figured I was 6-12 months away from getting anymore. But a few days ago I got a text from him with a video of Pepe playing this masterpiece and he said if I wanted it for store.ukelikethepros.com.
This is a kind of offer you NEVER turn down.
So here I present to you the Pepe Romero Custom Tiny Tenor Supermodel Ukulele with Solid Spruce Top and Solid Brazilian Rosewood.
Although it looks like a traditional Romero Creations Tiny Tenor it's not.
The Romero Creations are amazing instruments and the luthiers in Vietnam do an amazing job making them, BUT they are not Pepe Romero Jr.
The experience, the care, the love, the passion, the time, and the knowledge goes into each one of his custom ukuleles.
Remember these are 100% handmade. Each piece of wood is selected from Pepe's own private stock of wood, and hand cut to the exact dimensions and shapes, including the neck which is hand carved.
And trust me when I say the presence, tone, and resonance of this custom Tiny Tenor is something you have never experienced before.
Pepe also decided to try a koa wood armrest and a side port sound-hole on this one.
I can't forget to mention the signature Pepe French Polish Finish. Pepe is one of few builders in the entire world that uses the French Polish technique. French polish takes weeks if not months to due properly and even though it's a labor of love, the pure sound it creates cannot be mistaken.
This is the very first Tiny Tenor shape I have had from Pepe and it is going to make someone VERY HAPPY.
As Pepe's name gets bigger and bigger in the ukulele community the availability of these customs gets lower and the price continues to go up.
There will not be another one for a while and I guarantee there will not be another long like this.
This instrument is a piece of history and everything that Pepe hand makes will not only hold their value but continue to go up in demand and price.

* CUSTOM SETUP - Each Romero Creations 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.
* A humidifier is HIGHLY encouraged with all orders. 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 with Romero Creations 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"
* You can simply click the add to order box to add the humidifier.
*An Lr-Baggs 5.0 Pickup can be installed for $250 - click ADD Pickup . Normal install times are 2-3 weeks. If you want your instrument sooner please use the RUSH pickup option.
* NOTE - You will receive the exact Pepe Romero Custom Tiny Tenor Ukulele that is in the PHOTOS & VIDEO.
