Kepasa Ukulele Models and Prices
There are six ukulele models in the Kepasa Ukulele lineup.

Madeira - A very small bodied soprano ukulele with a 14" fingerboard scale. Base price $750 includes choice of woods, plastic binding on top, back and soundhole, Grover Sta-Tite 4B or 4W tuners, Spanish cedar neck, hard foam canvas covered case, Tusq® nut and compensated saddle. The Kepasa Madeira is named after the Portugese island from which three instrument builders, Manuel Nunes, Jose do Espirito Santo, and Augusto Dias, brought the tiny instrument that eventually became known as the ukulele.
Madeira upcharge options include: wood binding $50, Pegheds $80, rope binding $150


The Josephine - A soprano body with a 14" scale fingerboard. Base price $750 includes choice of woods, plastic binding on top, back and soundhole, Grover Sta-Tite 4B or 4W tuners, Spanish cedar neck, hard foam canvas covered case, Tusq® nut and compensated saddle. This model was first built for Craig Robertson to replicate the size and feel of his LeDomino ukuleles.
Josephine upcharge options include: wood binding $50, Pegheds $80, rope binding $150




Hollywood Style- Concert body with a 7" lower bout and a 15" scale fingerboard. Base Price $850 includes
choice of woods, plastic binding on top, back and soundhole, Grover Sta-Tite 4B or 4W tuners, Spanish cedar neck, hard foam canvas covered case, Tusq® nut and compensated saddle. This narrow waisted concert style was built by the Royal Hawaiian ukulele makers as well as many other Hawaiian builders, and later copied on the mainland by the Hollywood ukulele company.
Hollywood Style upcharge options include: wood binding $50, Pegheds $80, rope binding $150











Middlesex- Concert body with a 15" scale fingerboard. Base price $850 includes choice of woods, plastic binding on top, back and soundhole, Grover Sta-Tite 4B or 4W tuners, Spanish cedar neck, hard foam canvas covered case, Tusq® nut and compensated saddle.
Middlesex upcharge options include: wood binding $50, Pegheds $80, rope binding $150








Little Mac
-The Kepasa Little Mac is reminiscent of the old Selmer/Maccaferri gypsy guitars in its slightly shorter body, wider waist, and oval soundhole. Base price $950 includes choice of woods, plastic binding on top, back and soundhole, Grover Sta-Tite 4B or 4W tuners, Spanish cedar neck, hard foam canvas covered case, Tusq® nut and compensated saddle
. The sound is deeper than the usual concert size ukulele and actually leans more towards a tenor sound, but still employs a 15" fingerboard scale. The Kepasa Little Mac is a good candidate for concert strings that use a wound third string, or strung with a low G string.
Little Mac upcharge options include: cutaway $100, wood binding $50, Pegheds $80, slotted headstock with Grover geared tuners $200


Comet - Thin bodied acoustic/electric concert with 15" scale, $500 base price includes choice of woods, Grover Sta-Tite 4B or 4W tuners, Spanish cedar neck, hard foam canvas covered case, Tusq® nut and compensated saddle, passive undersaddle transducer. The Kepasa Comet can be built in alder with spruce top, maple with spruce top, or mahogany with spruce top. A cedar or mahogany top can be substituted as well. I usually install an undersaddle pickup on the Comet.
Comet upcharge options include: internally mounted Shadow preamp $100

Other options available on all models:
- Koa or maple neck, add $50
- Color tint, add $50
- "V" shaped neck, no extra charge
- Shadow pickup and internally mounted preamp, add $150
- Kepasa Ukuleles are strung with Aquila or Worth strings.
