When I bought the Martin from mineymole last week, I learned about the Gold Tone Little Gem. Mim had one in blue, and it arrived yesterday. At 2.5 pounds, it's not a lightweight, but a strap took care of that.
I think it's a bargain at $149. It's beautiful and loud. I love the smooth maple neck. It comes with a clever plastic template to position the bridge accurately. Why can't all banjo ukes come with one of them? There is also a small assortment of tools. The strings are still stretching, but it plays very nicely.
If I can talk two other members of our group to buy a red and a clear, we'll have red, white, and blue for Fourth of July events. : )
I haven't taken pictures of it yet, but I posted a couple from Uke Republic.
