New discussion started at post #19
I'm looking to start shopping seriously for an entry-level uke to learn on, but I don't anticipate having the access to extra cash that I currently have for long, so I want to make my purchase count for the long term. I can safely commit around $300, and I might have some wiggle room.
I'm a big guy with large hands - XL gloves tend to be tight - so I'm assuming a tenor would be appropriate.
I want to learn finger-picking, and I'd like to eventually be able to play with my friends who rock electric guitars, so I'd like a uke that rings more like a modern guitar than one that has the traditional uke sound.
Having a pick-up would be nice, but not essential; I can always add that later, right?
Am I chasing a figment, or is this a realistic approach?
Thanks.
