Design Your Own Ko'olau Custom

Please note that you are not ordering a "In Stock" ukulele with this product. This enables you to custom order a 'uke with all the options of your choice. It then will be about 2-4 months before completion of your custom 'uke. Please contact us if you have any questions!

These are Ko'olau Tenor T100 models. The first one is a standard Koa T100. The next one has a figured wood upgrade. The next model is Hawaiian Ash and the 4th example is Rosewood . How is the T100 different from the T1? Upgrade on woods, abalone rosette, & ebony fretboard and bridge are the main differences. Both come with Bone Nut and Saddle, Gotoh tuning keys, 100% Hide Glue construction, Nitro-Cellulose lacquer finish, a deluxe hard case and a lifetime warranty.

These are hand built by Noa Bonk using the finest materials and techniques. If you are craving some serious tone from a tenor, this may be just what you want!

These ukuleles are amongst the best you will find!  

As you can hear, this model has excellent balance and sustain from every wood. For us, getting these instruments is a special thing. The feel of a Ko'olau gives you more freedom to just enjoy playing. Zach said in describing Koolau ukuleles, "It just feels right". Build your own with the choices below and before you know it (2-4 months), you will have an amazing instrument for life!

The only problem with Ko'olau is trying to keep them in stock. Because of the small production nature of the custom shop, and their high demand around the world, this method of ordering is the fastest way to get one. We fit you into one of our build slots and you will have a Ko'olau in 2-4 months. This ensures you a beautiful and professional level ukulele!


This is a tenor sized instrument and comes with a tenor hardshell case.

All Solid wood Ukuleles get a Humidifier for no extra charge!

Custom Options

You start off with a Ko'olau Tenor T100. From there you can choose woods, and if you want, upgrade for higher figured woods (curly, flame, quilt).

For your headstock you can get a regular head or upgrade to the slotted headstock

Other options include no fret markers on the fingerboard face, like the two slot head ones here have. (still has side dots for your viewing).

The last big option is choosing a pickup system if you are plugging in.

Extra Options

The Herco HE360, is the included humidifier. You can upgrade to the more expensive Oasis Ukulele Humidifier (OH-18). This is suggested if you live in a low humidity area.(parts of California, Nevada, Arizona, etc..) including cold winter areas if you are heating the air most of the day and night. For more info see our Ukulele Care link at the bottom of the site

If you want a different set of strings you can buy them at the strings section and just note that you want us to change them in the special instructions.

No extra charge for Low G just write Low G under special instructions.
