Pono Pro Series Classic Premium Curly Mango Pineapple Tenor Ukulele - MGTP5 PC
Uke is in excellent condition and includes Hard Shell Case also in excellent condition
$949
This is a Pro Classic 5 series tenor with beautiful Mango wood.
The 5 series is the flagship of the Pono line.
It gets the highest grade woods, and aside from all the appointments of the Pro Classic line, wood bindings, radius fretboard, gloss finishes, abalone rosette, included wood hard case, etc, beyond that there is also abalone inlay going around the top.
Just a little icing on the cake.
Possibly the "sweetest" ukulele ever made!? Made from beautiful, highly figured quarter sawn tropical mango wood, the sound profile of this ukulele is warm and mellow, with the added body pineapple shapes are known for.
This is the last model Pono used abalone for its rosette and perfling - following years use blue turquoise for their mango Pro Series.
A key feature in all of the Pono tenors and baritones is the dual-action adjustable truss rod.
This stabilizes and adjusts the lengthwise forward curvature (also called relief), of the neck.
It can be adjusted from right inside the soundhole with an allen wrench provided.
Over time and with humidity changes, this is a very useful option to have, and a very easy thing to adjust with little room for error.
