Really really not a bad instrument, but some issues (minor ones I guess)

Is this a typo ? Shouldnt it say " Really a great instrument "Really really not a bad instrument

Thanks all. You know me by now (I think). I tell it like it is, and tend to mention even the smallest gripes. Still actually think this is a great ukulele though. Still despise that logo sticker - but what can you do. Martin have been doing it for years, and show no signs of stopping!

Why do you include such subjective complaints, based on personal taste?
"Bag is an unnecessary addition
Horrid headstock logo
Rosette looks a bit cheap too"

Because it's a personal review...
I went out and bought that S1.
As for these things: I liked the sticker until I realized that vintage Martins are engraved, and the sound hole seems to be a sticker, too. And the bag is actually pretty nice, but at risk of putting words in Barry's mouth, a hard case is a better thing to include for a solid wood instrument. So all three of these personal taste criticisms make sense to me!
Of course they are personal gripes! They are my personal thoughts.
