A Gibson like this one? :
I couldn't find pictures of the others...
Is the Bishop museum having an auction or something?

Are they all the same price? Must see photos to decide!

If you can try it out first to make sure you like it -- the Dias. Sweet!

Brah, talking about vintage, you got a list of some antiques, really old. How much are you willing to spend?

you know, I've been wanting one of those jiggling hula girl statuettes that goes on the dashboard. Didn't see one on ABC, where can I get one?

I have held two modern Dias reproductions from custom-builders and love the look and feel.
The 5K I have held in my hands, too. Either of those in excellent condition would be a gem and my pride and joy.

If it was MY money, I'd go with the Martin tenor, just because of the sweet sound...and yes I would play it, an ukulele was meant to be played, not hung on wall in some dusty old museum!

Of those three, I might go with the Gibson simply because it might be the one that might be the most playable one for me.
I'm sure the Martin 5K would be playable, but I'd be too afraid of marring my investment playing with the amount of gusto I currently employ on a regular basis.
The Dias is an historic piece, but not necessarily going to be a player. And the Mehalona is going to be somewhere in between the latter two.
But you're also a dedicated collector. You're going to have all three eventually...
