Hi, first post here..
I know mgm seems to be everybody's go-to guy, just wondering whom else I might look to for uke-shopping, specifically on eBay. I'm thinking I should be shopping from someone on the mainland so the instrument doesn't have to transition through different humidity levels (I live in Dallas btw.), but I dunno.. overkill? It does need to go through eBay, whoever it is with.
Also, I can't quite seem to decide what I'm shopping for.. I want a tenor and my budget is under $300. I know all-solid sounds best but I don't have a good history of taking good care of these. Woods drying out and cracking and such. Yet the last laminate I owned caused discomfort in my fretting hand due to vibrations going through the cheap wood.. is this common to most laminate instruments? I'd appreciate any suggestions you all might have.
