Thanks Kanaka916,
I only ask as I am interested in looking at / possibly purchasing one of the fender Ukes when I visit Hawaii next month & they are the only store so far that I have contacted that has the one I want in stock, although I haven't tried Dan's Guitars or Hawaiin Music supply yet.
Easy Music Centre & Island Guitars did not carry them & Coconut Grove is "expecting" some in the next few weeks.
I am interested in the Koa laminate model, which seems to run @ $200USD (about $275AUD)at most online stores in the USA. Back here in Australia, if you can even find one, the same model will set you back about $475AUD.
Thanks again,
