USED The Rebel Particle Solid Spruce/Red Cedar & Ebony/Padauk Tenor Ukulele in gigbag

Please note that all used ukuleles are only for sale to UK based customers. 

The Particle ukulele is part of a limited range of models being produced by The Rebel. Although you might be able to argue that the KoAloha Naupaka has already dabbled in split tops/backs and creating hybrid sounds, even KoAloha can't claim to have taken experimentation to such an extreme, dedicated level.

After producing a range of prototypes in previous years utilising different tonewoods - the model that has the most fanfare is the instrument here now known as the Particle. This ukulele has depth, warmth, crystal clear trebles and a really booming sexy Barry White-esque bass. It's just bloody wonderful and unique...

Instruments with an almost patchwork effect aren't going to be to every players taste but if a massive textural range of sounds is the most important thing about playing Ukulele to you then you should definitely, definitely add this ukulele to your list of must-sees.

Pictures show actual instrument. This one has the Red Cedar on the bass side and Spruce on the treble side of the top, and was the only one we received to have the Ebony back and Padauk sides. Cosmetically, it is a 6/10, as it displays some playwear and small dinks to the top, a larger dink to the binding (see pic) and some fine scratches to the gloss by the bridge on the top.

The gloss along the join at the bottom bout has cracked as well (see pic). This is purely cosmetic, and is not structural at all. Sometimes this happens after a few years as part of the settling process of an instrument. It is unlikely to get any worse. Our picture is designed to highlight it - it does not look this bad in real life!

However, fundamentally it is in great playable condition and has much more love to give the new owner, but please bear in mind that it is a used instrument, and the list of small marks here is not exhaustive.
