So my new uke came in today, a solid sapele koalana concert uke.
I got his uke off of MGM (thank you by the way), good customer service, very quick delivery.
Anyways..
price paid: $170.90 (after shipping)
Features:9
-Solid sapele body
-Solid sapele neck
-5 point headstock
-musubi shapped soundhole
-Unibrace design
-13 frets to body 17 overall
Made in china, but hey, as long as its a good uke it doesn't really matter where it came from. The crown headstock and the musubi sound hole make the uke look original apart from the other ukes I play around. Friction tuners also give the uke a more traditional look to it. no pick up. Came with a Hard case and a humitron humidifier.
Sound:9
Sounds bright and happy. Volume was pretty loud compared to other ukes I've played with and along side of.
action, fit, and finish: 8
Came with a set of aquilas. Good low action. Great set up by MGM. the wood on the fret board looks awesome. The Logo and the fret markers look like they it was made with white out which took away from the beauty of the uke.
Durability/ reliability:9
So far I've had no problems with it. The uke looks like it will hold up for a long time of playing, so long as you take care of it, just like any other uke. I wouldn't be embarrassed to play this uke live at all. I'd trust this uke for sing alongs in math class aha..
overall: 8.75
Ive been pretty happy with it so far, Friction tuners are a pain in the butt, but in the end its a great uke for the price I paid.
