Or just wait and buy the US made SO when Martin eventually brings production of it back here. 
Also, shouldn't this be in either Uke Talk or Buying Tips?
I doubt that a rank beginner is going to spend $400 for a mexican Martin as their first uke since most newbies have trouble getting their heads around spending only $50 for a Makala Dolphin.
IN any case, there will be no wall because it is STOOPID and nobody is going to spend the eleventy trillion dollars it would take to build it, which will take longer than 4 or 8 yrs any way. It's just spreading of feathers like a Peacock does to intimidate rivals...

Lol. Yeah, that'll happen. Everything's coming back. Hahahaha. Aw, man. It's really not even funny, but oh well. If only it were that easy before this genius! This thread will be locked in about ten seconds, peace.

I don't care this whole discussion is moot anyways, because I don't like a soprano w only 12 frets.

"Every $300 you spend on a foreign made instrument ends up in a foreign bank, never to come back to your country, unless you borrow it back at a high interest rate. It is $300 less in your economy to create jobs and lifestyle for you and your family. Every 1m instruments, sold @ $300 each, takes $300m out of your economy, never to come back, it sits in the bank account of a rich foreign person. Many of the rich foreign people wont even spend it in their local economy where millions are living in poverty, they just think they are cool because they have a big bank balance."
This does not occur with some ukes, such as Cocobolo Ukuleles. Kevin (the owner) isn't rich by any means, and the money they make feeds the families of the workers. They even plant a new cocobolo tree each time one is cut down. Kevin and his wife have a Utah address so I'm sure some of the earnings get spent in the US.

Thanks brother!
Means a lot.
I am amused by the grandstanding of Mr. YUGE.
Aside from fiscal effects imposed by his Office (or should I say Orifice), the rest of it all is likely be like a dark comedy...or a Tragedy (in the old Greek drama sense only hopefully)...entertaining and frustrating at the same time! YIPPEE!!!
Better to be moot than mute :rofl:

Unfortunately, making it harder to trade with Mexico will not bring back manufacturing, it will simply send the work further offshore. You will be more likely to have that Asian Martin SO that you have always dreamed of.:wallbash:
Always good to hear from you Steve. You always make me think.

The 12 fret Martin SO hasnt been made in many years. The new S1 has 14 frets . I prefer the 12 fret SO . Those extra frets sound useless to me.

Seeing as how this thread is political in nature, I am inclined to ask that people tread very lightly in here. I am not deleting it yet, but it is arguably doomed from the start. I am moving it from beginner to buyer tips though.

Hi, wicked!
I am very sad that you moved this thread in to buying tips. Because I wanted to talked it as beginner. Could you just close this thread?
