Can anyone here tell me exactly what the Martin OXK is made from? I know it is a HPL but is the laminate made from wood fibres, plastic, waste paper or what? Thanks
Has anyone ever heard about any problems with the OXK's HPL... such as warping, or dishing-out?
I agree! I am getting ready to take it on a road trip today. It is already packed in my suitcase.I really love my OXK, the sound is peculiar and it's the best "all road uke" to me and I haven't any troubles with it! paper sand OOOO will be good to the neck because there is no finish
The OXK seems to be consistently priced at $279 everywhere on the planet.

I'm glad that you started this thread. It drew out some great info in the replies. I hope that you'll update with your impressions as time goes by.
Lingering questions about the OXK:
- Has anyone gotten a lemon (QC issues)?
- Are they usually set-up well from the factory?
- Do they seem to sound best with Martin strings?
- Why are the G and A strings reverse-wound on the tuning pegs in the official photos?

- I get the impression that Martin's QC is generally pretty top notch, although I suppose there could be some lemons out there...
- I bought from a shop that does set-ups and they said they rarely have to touch the Martins.
