The 2025 Platinum incorporates the ʻIwa Manu inlays on the headstock, fretboard, and soundboard, with each bird inlaid in Lama, the beautiful Hawaiian ebony. These ʻIwa Manu symbolize freedom, limitless potential, and the spirit of Hawaiian voyaging, guiding adventurers across vast oceans with unwavering direction. The inlays represent the 10th Platinum, commemorating a decade of excellence, innovation, and craftsmanship.
In addition to the visual impact, the ʻIwa Manu inlays serve as a reminder of the connection between tradition and future. On the 2025 Platinum, the ʻIwa Manu on the side sound port enhances both the symbolism and the player’s experience, offering a more intimate connection to the instrument while elevating its visual beauty. With every detail, from the hand-selected Master Grade Koa body to the precisely placed ʻIwa Manu, this model is a powerful testament to the legacy of the Platinum series, setting a new standard for artistry and innovation in the ukulele world.
