I have heard Caramel ukulele's being somewhat well-regarded as a low-price but decent quality option from our friends in China
I was on the prowl for a new, affordable Baritone, and this one ticked all the boxes:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Caramel-CB...Electric-Ukulele-With-Truss-Rod/263296625857?
-All Solid Acacia
-Acoustic Electric*
-Soft case included
-AND a TRUSS ROD!
All of this for a measly $150?
I was sold and bought it on an impulse (though I will have to wait a bit).
How have peoples' experience been ordering Caramel ukes from overseas? Does it arrive well packaged and in mint condition?
I guess the main worry is solid-wood being shipped and exposed to temperature/humidity fluctuations. Hopefully the truss rod makes the neck resilient against those changes.
*- Will replace the stock undersaddle piezo with a better Artec one myself
This inexpensive, simple modification makes these cheap acoustic-electrics pickup systems really perform
