I just came back from a local shop. They carry mele's, which is surprising here in wi. I was checking out a trad mahogany tenor. It felt great, and I want to stress this because it may be a critical aspect in my decision. The neck just played very well, even with the high action it had. It will probably play better much better after a set up. It really blew the mele koa tenor i played, out of the water. The sound on the mahogany was nice also. A nice mellow tone you would expect from mahogany.
Well, I was looking it over thinking "I may have found my next uke." then I saw them. Cracks? On the back of the body. Not terrible, but obviously with any crack comes concern. I pointed it out to an employee. He looked and said they would adjust the price
$299. That's $110 off of their original price.
Im really interested in it, but I feel apprehensive because of the cracks. I guess what I'm getting at is, how difficult are cracks to repair? Is it something that might cause concern even beyond repair?
Thanks for reading my long post.
