aesthetically? damn, big words, little brother! hahaha
so yah, let me just say, i was the biggest skeptic of these ukulele. i thought to myself "oh no, fender is jumping on the bandwagon and just getting the leftovers from china that nobody else wanted, and just put their name on it"... i was wrong. well at least for this particular model.
i could not find one bad thing about this ukulele... even the price! and when i finally saw it in person... i loved the headstock! hahaha. now, if you want a bright as the sun, punchy ukulele, get a solid koa one. but if you are looking for that happy medium between a super warm almost dull badly done laminate, and a bright solid spruce top, this is it. the notes just fall into place with each other when you play a chord. there is no difference in tone when you press it up against your chest to play, or if you hold it out. might be from the arched back. the aesthetics, as my brother mentioned, are beautiful. there are no electronics built in, but i would rather have it that way so i can pick and choose my own.
as far as the solid mahogany ones with the pup installed for $300, i wasnt impressed. i prefer the tone of my makala over the fender in that aspect. only this model got me. im jealous.
