Greetings one and all. Well, I think I'm ready to PULL-THE-TRIGGER and place my order with The Ukulele Site :drool:
I have been emailing back and forth with Zach (he has answered a number of questions and has been very helpful), and I have the following sitting as a "draft" in my email to remind me of exactly what I would like to order. So please review, comment and let me know if I am missing anything!!!
Background, I have been playing guitar for 25+ years and really finding myself much more interested in the Uke now than my guitars. My only ukulele so far is a $199 Cordoba 22T. And so this will be my first big ukulele purchase and hoping to get something I'll be happy with for years to come!!!
So here's the draft of my order so far:
-PONO MTSHC-S SPRUCE/MAHOGANY CUTAWAY- KOA BOUND - RADIUS -SLOTHEAD +
-Link to specific item to make sure I'm getting the right thing: http://www.theukulelesite.com/shop-by/brand/pono/pono-mtshc-s-spruce-mahogany-cutaway.html
-Setup request - Please have strings changed out to your favorite High-G set with no wound strings... and then please send an extra set of the same strings so that I know what is on there and have a replacement pair
-Add a strap button
-LR Baggs 5.0 Active pickup system
-Also please add two ukulele wall hangers to my order if you have something like the following: String Swing Home and Studio Ukulele Hanger wood
*Additional notes of possible interest (Edited and added after posting): I had made a few post here and emailed Zach discussing the higher end 30 series Cordoba, but everyone seem to really promote and suggest I consider the Pono line. And although I was looking to spend closer to the $600 range on the Cordoba, I did end up deciding that the Pono may be the way to go... then after that I started to think that the higher end Pono's were even looking better So I'll sell one of my guitars to end up paying for this acquisition, but it seems to be the right decision! One of my BIGGEST deciding factors, which is what makes this order soooooo hard to make, is overall PLAYABILITY!!! I am used to some fairly nice guitars with great playability, and I just have heard A LOT of great things about this level of the Pono line, and think that I'll be happy with it for a very long time! Sure hope I'm right about all of that, but I've got a pretty good feeling it'll turn out to be a great purchase from a great company and great retailer.
