Now this is something super rare and special. A Collings customer ordered this concert ukulele wanting it to have an Art Deco look and style. No changes in dimensions: 7½” width, 11” length, 213⁄16” depth, and a total length of 24”. Just a different look and style. So Bill Collings went to work building this bespoke concert ukulele with a Sitka spruce top and flamed maple back and sides. The high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finished instrument has ivoroid body binding with B/W purfling, an abalone rosette with B/W/B purfling, and an ebony Art Deco bridge (aka stacked bridge), with a bone saddle for 111⁄16” string spacing. That bridge is a true piece of art and must have excited and stimulating Bill creating it. The flamed maple neck has a C-profile, ebony heel cap, 12” radius ebony fingerboard without position markers, akin to the ‘3’ style appointment on a guitar, and 1⅜” wide bone nut. The headstock is something special again with an ebony veneer in Art Deco style, still with a haircut but void of a Collings logo and 4:1 gear ratio Pegheds planetary gear tuning machines. It has the old-style Ameritage case similar like the one for the UC1 prototype. The UC3K page on the old Collings website is archive here (2016). A similar concert ukulele with S/N 238 is featured in the archived Collings Gallery. Checking with Collings’ Customer Support, they claim about 14 of these Art Deco ukuleles were built in all.
