Custom Ukuleles


                                                John S. Kinnard Legacy Series


As John enters the second half century of his career in luthiery, he finds himself reflecting on the lessons learned from the past 50+ years and what lies in store for him in the future.  Having built over 1700 instruments John knows what looks good, sounds good and how it should feel when played.  With this deep knowledge and understanding honed over decades of experience,  John can  envision what an instrument would be if he were to build it for himself.  This is the idea behind the Custom Legacy Series- to offer an instrument that John would build and pass down to his family for generations.


These custom instruments will be built when the inspiration hits John and offered as they become available...be sure and keep an eye out on the "current inventory" page for these very special instruments...
