Aloha! I need help choosing my first ukulele!

Hello, I've been playing acoustic guitar for a few years and I now I wanna learn the ukulele. I've done some online research and I also went to my local music store to try out some and I decided I wanna get a tenor. Now the only issue is, which one?!

My only requirements are:
1. Tenor
2. Electric-acoustic
3. Solid wood top (preferably)
4. Cutaway (preferably)
5. Budget is 300ish

I've posted the links to the ones I'm considering below. I wanted to know if any of you guys have tried these ukuleles and what you recommend from these choices or if you recommend one that I haven't listed. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Especially since I'm a noob to the uke world. Thank you!

Thread approved and out of moderation queue. Sorry for the delay.

I have the Cordoba - a great high end entry level uke. I play in a band and use the uke for a few songs per gig. The electronics are so-so, I take away the thumpyness with a 7 band EQ that i have laying around. It is very easy to play. I have a new Pono Pro-Classic on the way, so if you wait a few weeks, if you like the idea of the Cordoba, we might be able to make a deal.

I recently got the Cordoba 20TM-CE. It was used and came with the Aquilla Red Low G strings on it. I'm really enjoying it so far.

If you weren't in the hunt for an electric - I'd recommend KPK - they are great ukuleles and the prices are very good for the quality you get.

I have to agree about buying from someone who will set the instrument up for you rather than an out of the box model. It may cost a little more or the shipping be higher but you will be more pleased. If you go to a store that doesn't and try playing them do so to hear their sound.

Congratulations on coming to UU for advice! You'll make a much better choice as an informed uker!
(personally, of the ukes you listed, I'd prefer the Kala, but there's nothing wrong with Cordoba.....I'd steer clear of the OS)

The Hawaii Music Supply has Cordoba ukuleles on sale right now ... www.theukulelesite.com ... I have bought ukes from them and highly recommend them ... great service and integrity.

Get a Gretsch G9121 ACE tenor from HMS instead.
