Ashton uke500koa - anyone got one? review?

barefootgypsy · Apr 8, 2012

I can't find a review of the Ashton Uke500koa, which is solid koa, and looks a nice ukulele..... has anyone out there got one, and what do they think of it? It's up for £209........ In the UK the brands available are far more limited than in the States..... Thanks! And Happy Easter!

I haven't seen this particular uke... but Ashton ukes in general have not been very impressive to me in general.
It seems they jumped into the uke market recently, but I've mostly been seeing cheaply made stuff that sound pretty dead.

If I was spending any serious money on a "Koa" uke, I would not go with an Ashton, but a trusted uke brand.

Thanks for that, I appreciate it!

Thought I'd try and revive these.

A seller on Ebay has these for $199au with an additional 20% off (RR is $400).

Has anybody seen or played.

Thanks
