They look nice, Stan. Old label says they've been around since 1999.

Hmmm...the headstock looks a LOT like the Kamaka concert headstock. Does Kamaka have a patent on it?

Their "About Us" link says they are Hawaiian-designed but overseas-made ukes. The ukes appear overpriced.

Yes I think they are overpriced too..but they look good..there are several uke builders who have headstocks
shaped similiar to this..even Koa Works..I believe I said they were new, since the new name...just renamed
I don't know or it's a completely different product made overseas now...wish MGM will check them out for us.
You hear Mike..ha ha ..
