Handmade Aluminum Bridge, Saddle, Tailpiece, Pickup Rings, Switch Plate, Truss Rod Cover, and Headstock Medalion. Plays and sounds just as great as it looks.

ABOUT BONHAM DESIGN:
In 2011, I began working for Mya Moe Ukuleles where I initially worked on reducing the chance of human error during production through extensive jig building, and later producing all the parts for over 2000 ukes. I learnt an enormous amount from Gordon Mayer (co owner of Mya Moe with wife Char Mayer) and when he sold the company, I inherited not only an incredible education, but also a pretty fine collection of hand tools and machines.
My own custom work is my real joy now - I am in the business of making people happy. My designs are heavily influenced by Chris Knutsen, the Dopyera brothers (National), and Paul Bigsby - and everything I make has to feel like an instrument I wish I owned and played every day. Like Knutsen and Bigsby, I want to make a unique piece each time I build and I hope to continue exploring ‘outside the box’ ideas whilst working with my customers to realize their dreams.
