Ok, its only a Lanikai, its only monkey pod but its only $270 AND ITS MINE! I wanted a solid body concert and have always been a monkey pod junkie (say that three times fast). Review will follow once the new uke rush has worn off.
There's a monkeypod Lanikai on YouTube, used to be a Hawaiimusicsupply demo. They switched from factory strings t Ko'olau Alohis about halfway through....improvement in sound was amazing.
Hey! Looks like a beautiful instrument. I considered buying a similar model, but was a bit turned off because of the "Widened nut to make it more suitable to guitar players."
Have you noticed a difference in the width of the nut from any of your other ukes?
