Bruce Wei Guitars
If you're looking for beautiful and professionally made guitar, you will find it here.
Some time ago, I ordered a Bruce Wei mandola, and was pleasantly surprised by the build quality, the artistic use of inlay and more importantly, the sound and playability. Bruce makes instruments that sustain and have the depth of sound that we all really search for.
Bruce Wei Ukuleles
Ukuleles have come to everyone's attention again, largely due to the influence of great players like Jake Shimabukaro and James Hill. I bought a couple of Bruce's koa ukes a year ago, and they're great instruments. He's also trying a few different body shapes and woods. The koa instruments are loud but mellow, the maple ukes cut through really well and the the mahogonay models are dark and rich.
I've decide to supply mainly tenor instruments - they're somewhat louder than a soprano, and may easier on larger hands.

I have been importing Bruce's instruments on a one off basis, and still have several guitars and ukuleles available. Feel free to ask about your own particular requirements. Each of the instruments has beens inspected and professionally setup by luthier Steve Johnston before being offered for sale.
My standard price on Bruce's guitars is $660. Each guitar comes with a sturdy hard case included in the price. Martin Eric Clapton strings are fitted to each guitar on setup also.
Ukuleles are priced at tenors $190, baritones $200, concerts $170. Hard case $70, gig bag $30.
