Looks great, fun to play
This is my first ukulele, so I don't know exactly how to compare to others. The instrument looks beautiful, and all of the electronics worked for me out of the box. The tuner is a nice feature. It does have to be tuned more often than my guitars do. The sound is nice, it sounds like a ukulele. The neck was straight. It's flat with shallow frets, again, I'm more used to guitar so… read more don't know if that's standard for the instrument or not. The cutaway feels comfortable, the back of the neck fit comfortably in my hand, though I may give it a few coats of Tung oil. The fret ends were filed cleanly with no overhang over the edge of the neck.
Super cool idea, way too cheap on build quality
it was a great price and the natural look and feel of the body were cool. But the plug in doesn't output. It doesn't matter what cable, what amp, what board, what batteries i use. I ordered a second one and got the same issue. the onboard tuner is great, the jack doesn't output, I read online, i fiddled, i even got inside to make sure the wires were all seated properly. This… read more thing just doesn't use good electronics and/or it wasn't put together right. As far as build quality goes, there isn't any finish work on this Ukulele. the fret edges are sharp, the glue up is noticeable, the laser carved design around the sound hole is uneven depths, the nobs on tuners are and feel cheap. the neck back is rough with dings and cuts like it was hand carved but not in a good way. IT SOUNDS GOOD, Don't get me wrong, it sounds good! I don't mind the way it feels but am returning two of them and shopping for something else.
Poor quality
Neck had couple dents in it right out of box. Neck angle was horrible an no truss rod so can't adjust. Bridge saddle was about 1/8" to high. Almost impossible to fret the higher notes with the neck angle an saddle so off. Has nice tone an electronics seem fine so far but overall I would not purchase again. Poor set up an build quality.
