Hey everyone I need help on something exciting. I just got engaged this weekend (yay!) and my girlfriend said she wanted to spoil me because I spoiled her the day I proposed. She said she'd buy me a Kamaka Uke! (yay!) So here's my question. There is a shop here that just received new ones and I wondered if I should buy one here or if I should wait a year, since she wants to get married in Hawaii and buy one straight from the factory? Does anyone have any experience or have seen the ukes at the factory store? I read somewhere once, don't know if it was on here, that they sell them there at a discount, but the ones they sell had small defects whether it be cosmetic or otherwise. Kinda like buying clothes at some outlet store where sometimes you'll find some weird stitching that's out of place. Also, if that is not the case, Do they sell ones there with a more unique and awesome Koa pattern? Just curious and thanks again for any info from anyone. :shaka:
