We are excited to be partnering with the Ukulele Kids Club Inc., along with four outstanding luthiers: Steve Grimes, Jay Lichty, Peter Robson, and Ben Wilborn, as the platform that will sell four one-of-a-kind guitars to help bring the healing power of music to medically fragile children. It is our honor to support the efforts of these altruistic luthiers who have chosen to donate these fine instruments to benefit so many children in need. All partners and luthiers are proud to share that 100% of the proceeds from the sale will benefit the Ukulele Kids Club Inc.
Jay Lichty is a local North Carolina builder who’s been active on the scene for many years. Not only does he build great flattops, he also has a great reputation for his ukuleles. This SJ model has a quick and energetic voice with lovely trebles. Lean in, and it’s got the headroom. Lighter attack? String energy remains crisp and defined. As with all four LFAC guitars, the body is Flame Maple with Sitka Spruce on top, supplied by Steve Grimes.
