Hopefully you can all view my Facebook album -
linky.
It came through today - pleasantly surprised. I was on my way out to my local luthier, who was putting strap buttons on my Sceptre as well as lowering the action on it (and researching putting a pickup on it too), so took it with me and had it setup as well whilst I waited.
It is indeed solid koa; we couldn't determine what grade but, in the words of the luthier, it's "bloody lovely". The grain changes in the light and has a real honey glow to it, as well as smelling sweet through the soundhole. It's also loud - haven't had the chance to compare it to the Sceptre's volume yet, and I'm sure it'll be lower, but it's certainly got a warm voice to it.
It's still got the original strings on it, Aquila's, that will be changed to Worth Clears soon, so this should really sing.
I think I've found myself my official busking uke, that's for sure.
