Boulder Creek

Boulder Creek Guitars
Boulder Creek is a Family run company in Santa Clara, California, USA, and all of the Guitars and Ukuleles are made in China.

All of the Boulder Creek Ukuleles are branded as Riptide and in 2014 they changed the branding to Riptide by Boulder Creek  to reflect this.

The Ukuleles cone in all of the standard scales from Soprano to Baritone, and the choices of wood run from laminate mahogany and a satin finish, to a selection of solid wood tops, (Spruce, Mahogany and it says Koa but that might just be laminate?), and a high gloss finish, plus the option of a fitted pickup, (with the cutaway if it is a Tenor), but they only come as 4 string models. All of the models feature a small top, (epaulette), sound hole and the larger side sound port.

Older models, (pre 2012), have a saw tooth on the top of the headstock, Boulder Creek as the headstock logo and "Riptide" inlaid across the middle of the soundboard. Newer models have a straight headstock top, Riptide as the headstock logo and a plain soundboard.

In 2015 they introduced a 21 inch scale Ukulele Bass they called the Travel Bass and this appears, like the Guitars, to not to be part of the Riptide range, just branded as Boulder Creek

Ukuleles and the Travel Bass have not appeared in the Boulder Creek catalogue since 2020 though the home page of the website still says they distribute Ukuleles?
