Greetings all. I'm looking at buying my first ukulele and I'm stuck.
I think I've narrowed it down to 2.
Lanikai NKT Custom
Or
Lanikai SMT
EDIT: I just found this uke on ebay for 260. It was one used to photograph and they sprayed some kind of no-shine stuff on it that makes the finish spotty. Should I avoid this like the plauge?
There are no stores in a 4 hour radius that sell either of these. I could buy one and have it shipped to guitar center, but I don't see the point. If I have to buy it I may as well have it shipped to me since I'm stuck with it.
Is there a huge difference between the spalted mango and koa woods? I'm not entirely comfortable buying without seeing it, but I don't have any other options.
Thanks
