I recieved my Islander MST-4 today with good news and bad. The good is that it's a beautiful Uke and sounds incredible, I love the warm tone. The bad is there were some blemishes on it. A nick in the soundboard, more marks in the neck/headstock, and a gouge or something on the first fret. The Nut seemes to be not seated to well on one side, maybe that is normal, I don't know. The fret could be sanded/dressed and fixed I assume, but the nick and marks are a little much I thought.
I will be sending it back for a refund but there aren't any more so I guess I will be looking for something else, or wait for the new models.
Here are some pictures, maybe I'm just being to picky since it is my first instrument. Click if you want a larger view.
Oh, it also arrived in a Wasburn mandolin box, not an islander Uke box, that seemed odd.
