Often when I look at acoustic ukuleles, I see instruments with pickups, tuners, and EQs. I always skip these and don't consider them when UAS hits.
I think my reasons for not wanting electronics in my instruments are mostly that electronics of any type get outdated, and that I don't always find it aesthetically pleasing. I also don't want additional holes in the instrument, especially when the electronics break or get outdated, which is likely to happen long before the instrument stops being usable.
I'd probably rather buy a solid body e-ukulele than get an acoustic/electric instrument, though my view would probably differ if I performed on stage or other places where you want to plug your instrument in. For self-recording, I much prefer a microphone.
But this is doubtlessly a matter of preference, so I am curious how other uke players feel. I'll also add a simple poll.
