PCH Custom Tenor Ukulele “Wickered” – Oregon Myrtle

PCH Custom Tenor “Wickered” – Oregon Myrtle

The PCH Custom Tenor “Wickered” is a striking, one-of-a-kind ukulele handcrafted by Northern California luthier Phil Henderson. Built using Oregon Myrtle, this tenor stands out for its organic beauty, complex grain patterns, and a tonal character that sits comfortably between warmth and clarity.

Oregon Myrtle is a favorite among West Coast builders for good reason. Visually, it can range from subtle honey tones to dramatic figuring that feels almost woven — hence the nickname “Wickered.” Tonally, Myrtle offers a balanced voice with excellent note separation, making it equally rewarding for fingerstyle players and strummers who want clarity without harshness.

Phil Henderson builds each ukulele entirely by hand, one at a time. His instruments are known for being lightweight, responsive, and immediately musical. The “Wickered” tenor reflects Phil’s signature approach: understated aesthetics, thoughtful wood selection, and a focus on tone and playability above all else.

This is not a factory instrument. It’s a true custom build — unique, expressive, and impossible to duplicate.
