I am pushing the upper limits of my UAS budget, and after hearing all the great things about Pono, both here in the forums, and the HMS sound samples, I started to look at them.
I am trying to figure out what level to really dig in at.
Entry level Acacia- Pono Tenor AT -$351 delivered
Next model- Pono ATDC- adds gloss and cutaway..and $200 to price $559. Are those the only differences? Is sound/playability increased? or just easier to hit higher frets(which is not an issue with my limited ability at this time)
The next jump is another $160 to the Pono AT-PC where there is bling, radius fretboard, hardcase, but the loss of the cutaway at $719.
I also notice that they seem to change out their offerings every few years. i.e. the PTC and RT-PC do not seem to be offered anymore, were their issues, or just not a lot of demand?
Any thoughts, or suggestions would be appreciated!
