Ya know, one of the things I like about expensive banjos is the bling. Sometimes the fret markers are mother-of-pearl, and, sometimes, the heads have a painting on them. The peg heads are decorated with mother-of-pearl too.
And I've also seen decorated guitars. Even the violin family has f-holes and very fancy pegheads, and sometimes other stuff.
Everyone drools over Moore-Bettah Ukes that have fancy inlays, and I have a "Peace" Luna Uke with translations of the word peace carved all over it (it plays very well too). I also have a Kala Spruce top baritone that sounds great and is fun to play, but the spruce top could certainly use a little artwork or somethin'. I like high gloss Ukes or maybe very fancy woodgrained ukes. Painted Fleas or Flukes are fun, though I don't like the sound of mine. But just plain ol' brown Ukes leave me cold.
Many times I've heard negative words about bling on a Uke, and I always wonder why Ukers don't care for it. Sooo . . . whadaya think?
