Gretsch Roots Collection G9110-SK (Koa) G9110-SM (Mahogany)

Earlier this year I closed the Ukulele in my heart.

My first Ukulele was/is a "standard" Gretsch G-9110 Laminated Mahogany Concert size.

It's still my most favorite instrument. It has an excellent sound. Action and playability is great!

I'm looking for a more expensive Ukulele for about $400.

With my Gretsch G9110 in mind, I discovered the G9110-SK (Solid Koa) and G9110-SM (Solid Mahogany), both are "deluxe" version, also available in Tenor size ( G9120-SK and G9120-SM)

I'm looking for a "more than perfect" Ukulele.

Problem about this specific version, it's impossible to find one in Europe to give it a try. Every Ukulele specialized shop is able to order it, but not in stock (delivery times of 5 - 6 weeks).

Also there is no detailed information about this specific Uke (No consumer reviews, no professional reviews and no forum posts about this G9110-SK).

It's a 2014 model, maybe it's a "late 2014" model, or it's not available at the moment?

Some people around here with tips 'n tricks or more information about this Uke (G9110-SK)

Lots of very decent concert size ukes for $400. The one in the video sounds decent. Haven't heard much about the solid koa Gretsch ukes, but haven't heard anything bad about any of them.

I bought the Gretsch 9120-SM from HMS and have to say it is a beautiful sounding instrument. I think Gretsch ukes are very underrated. There is very little talk about them on UU. I think some people believe that in the case of ukuleles, price=quality and because Gretsch ukuleles are not overly expensive they therefore cannot be any good. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Did you end up purchasing either of these uke’s? If you did, I’d love to hear a review on it. I’m considering the same two and am not finding much out there about them. I have a 1930’s Gretch that I love and am looking for something similar, but newer that I can install a pickup into.
