The thread about ukulele bling has me wondering how many people out there have purchased ukes based on looks alone. With so many people having to rely on the internet for uke purchases I'm guessing that it is probably fairly common. When I think of my own experience, 2 of my 3 ukes were purchased based on looks alone. (Though one of those was a solid acacia and I kinda wanted an acacia uke so that was a bonus.) Granted, both were purchased from a reliable seller so returns wouldn't have been an issue and both were from respected brands so I was reasonably assured that the uke would sound at least good if not great. One of those I didn't even know I wanted until I saw it and it burrowed itself into my mind until I had to buy it! Now I have another uke I didn't know I wanted calling my name. My resistance is waning by the hour.........
How many of you have purchased a uke based on looks alone?
