Features 7/10
* Bought in 2009, Made in China
* 19 frets 14; frets to body
* Maple Body, Mahogany Neck, Rosewood fretboard and bridge,
* Pickups with onboard pickup system with volume and tone controls
* Cherry Sunburst Finish
* Soprano Les Paul
* NuBone saddle and nut
* Nickel-plated geared tuners with green plastic button
* Neck/Scale (Fat, Thin, Jumbo Frets, Rosewood, Maple, etc...)
* Came with Aquila strings. Not sure if it was the music shop or the factory.
* Comes with gig bag
Sound 7/10
* It fits me well as a starter ukulele. I like to play around with classic rock and with the Les Paul body style it fits pretty well.
* When I want to amplify I use my Marshall MS-2 Mini amp and usually with out effects. If I want it to sound more like a guitar for the song I kick the overdrive on.
* The volume is less than that of other ukuleles of the same size but I think that is because it has the pick ups taking up a good portion of the body.
* It has decent tone. Tinny at times but ok.
Action, Fit & Finish 5/10
* Action is a little high
* Cherry sunburst finish has a few flaws at the edges and the rim of the sound hole
* Properly routed bridge?
* There are some miner flaws in the finish, one of the plates for the tuners is bent, and it looks like the uke was strung before the glue on the bridge was dry because the back of it is not actually in contact with the body, but other than that no major flaws.
Reliability/Durability 9/10
* Ok so this ukulele has fallen of the counter at the coffee shop where I work 5 times. It has taken a beating and only with scratches in the finish.
* Pickups work like a dream
* Stays in tune
* Good beater uke
Customer Support 5/10
* Never dealt with company
* No warranty so I guess I will dock for that
Overall Rating 6.5/10
* Been playing since July 2009 and this is my first uke but in my defense I have heard a lot of higher quality ukes and its tone is not the quality of those. I long for a kamaka. But this will do until I have the money and the model I want is in stock.
* This is my only uke at the moment.
* If it were stolen or lost, I would probably buy another just for the pickups and the Les Paul body. For the money it's a decent buy.
