Released in 2018, Jake Shimabukuro's signature model was newly added to the regular lineup. It remains rare and in limited supply. This particular instrument is a used item manufactured in 2022.
"Blue is a color that has always resonated with me...perhaps it's because it evokes my respect for blues guitarists," says Jake Shimabukuro.
Designed by Casey Kamaka, the top luthier of the Kamaka family, whom Jake Shimabukuro adores, this model incorporates Jake's unique preferences in looks, playability, and sound. The ebony fingerboard features Jake's signature design in mother-of-pearl. The flat-top headstock and geometric slot design are also distinctive features. The body is crafted from premium, fully curly koa. The green abalone heart purfling with blue accents evokes the sparkling water and captivating blue of the ocean surrounding Jake's hometown of Hawaii, and the ebony binding adds a finishing touch. The HF-3 D4I Jake Blue Edition is Kamaka Ukulele's flagship model, and the only model in the brand's history to be produced in collaboration with an artist and part of Kamaka's regular lineup. An unforgettable ukulele for ukulele enthusiasts, the HF-3 D4I Jake Blue Edition is sure to become a treasured, artistic ukulele. It is in excellent condition with no noticeable scratches and minimal signs of use. This Jake model is rarely available, both new and used. It comes with the original hard case.
