I have an Epi Mandobird, the concept is extrodinary, the execution is so so. The neck is too skinny, the action is too high, and being a 4 string mandolin, the sound just isn't there. That said, would love to see a UkeBird, or UkeVee, or solid body UkePaul. However, if the Les Paul Uke is $100, I'll get one, and I like the pickguard. different on a Uke, and I like to play with a pick. Now that I think of it how about a UkeSG?
