I think slot heads make it much harder to change strings. Useless eye candy IMO. If I am wrong, set me straight.
How about those ukes that have 2 sound holes-- 1 in the soundboard & a 2nd one on the side. It is said that the sound hole on the side helps you hear yourself better. Hmmm... seems to me that the extra hole would diminish the uke's outward sound projection, toward the audience. As for hearing myself better, I consider that to be a solution to a non-existent problem.
Now, as to Pono's famous truss rod... as for a tenor, it's no big deal, right? If some say it IS a big deal, then should I assume that most truss-less tenors suffer from mis-aligned necks?
Slot heads, extra sound holes, truss rods in tenors... BAH, humbug!!!
