My Ohana 5-string arrived today!
Got it tuned (more or less - new strings still stretching), Looks awesome, sounds great (besides the octave Gs, it has a similar volume and resonance to my wife's Mainland mahogany).
It arrived with a low, very playable action, but unfortunately the C string was too close to the frets and had a touch of buzz when played hard. I've shimmed the saddle up about 1/16 of an inch until I install a new saddle and get it just right. The action is still medium-low, and the sound now is perfect.
Pictures and a sound sample later in the week.
