I have 7 fine instruments, one of which I just bought 2 weeks ago. So why am I sitting here comparing costs of 3 new instruments for purchase?
ARRGH! This truly is a sickness. I've got it bad and it sure is good! I think?
The 3 Current Culprits
Concert Surf Flea with some uprgrades, $324 shipped
Koa Surf Flea $385.00 shipped
Mainland Solid Cedar Top Pineapple with gig bag, $250.45 shipped
I've always liked the Surf design. The solid top Koa looks great. The Mainlands sure are getting rave reviews. I tried to decide a while ago to only buy solid wood ukes from now on. I guess that leaves the Surf Flea out and it should leave the Koa Flea out, but I'm willing to consider it because I don't have a Flea and know for sure what I'm getting when I order one. I love my tenor fluke. The Mainland Cedar Top Pineapple is just a lovely instrument and more than reasonably priced.
I guess the $130 difference between the Koa Concert Flea and the Mainland Pineapple really comes down to more frets for more money or a solid cedar top/rosewood gem and save $130 towards the next purchase. Help! :uhoh:
:wallbash:
