Islander MSC-4 arrived today. Delivered Hawaii to New York in five days from order placed on HMS site. It sounds and plays just like I hoped it would. The mahogany and tortoise looks great and it came with a surprise. Inside the case HMS included a complimentary Herco humidifier. Smart move on their part to encourage new owners to care for their instrument and avoid warranty issues.

The Islanders are really nice. I got my son the MST-4 for Christmas, and the sound really develops in the first couple weeks, especially when you play it a lot. I enjoy the wider fretboard, and with the setup from HMS, the Islanders play so smoothly. Enjoy!

Here's pics of my dad's MSC-4, shot outdoors in morning light. The mahogany really does glow.

Bear, thanks for posting the picts. You're right about the mahogany. More towards gold than red and the finish has a little more luster than satin. The pin bridge is cool too. I'm gonna play this thing exclusively for a while. The concert size is great.
