Eddie Vedder Replica

 

" Thank you for my precious new Uke #1129. It is truly a beautiful instrument and piece of craftmanship. I really have enjoyed going through the ordering and build process. The instrument sounds absolutely amazing! I took it out of the box and started playing it and my 2yr old’s eyes lit up so bright. I feel really special to be able to own a Mya-Moe instrument. "
