I purchased this uke from MGM at Hawaii Music Supply in March 2012. I haven't played it too much; I'd say it's got about two hours playing time total. I've purposefully babied it because I knew upon receiving it that I probably shouldn't have bought it to begin with. I'm looking to offload it because I have nine ukes and no time to play them all. I'm working sixty+ hours a week with a wife and two kids at home.
This one in particular has beautiful figuring; especially for a KoAloha, from what I've seen of their instruments the past few years. The photos were taken by MGM and the uke is in the exact same condition as when I received it. I can provide pictures upon request, it's just that I'm tired of going through the hassle of doing so only to see my listings drop to page seven of the marketplace without a single inquiry. Haha. I have conducted several transactions in the marketplace the last few years though, so nothing to be worried about- just check my posting history. It's pristine. I wish I could keep it, but I cannot justify it, as a) I already have a regular KoAloha tenor, b) I don't gig and thusly have no use for the pick-up, and c) as I previously stated I have no time to give the nine ukes I own their due playing time.
I paid $1,195 for the uke and custom thinline case. I'd like $1,000 for the entire set up, with shipping to the CONUS provided free of charge. I'm not a fan of shipping abroad as I've done so many times in the past, although I won't rule it out entirely, provided a proper agreement can be reached in terms of shipping duties and such; but again, ideally, I'd like to keep it within the US.
As you can see it's a beautiful uke. As far as sound, I've never heard a bad KoAloha and don't believe one exists. I currently own four and have sold one other one; all of them great. The thinline acoustically sounds pretty much exactly the same as my KTM-00, although not quite as rich, but with an added punch. The pick-up has not even been used, but it was factory installed (by Brian, I was told) so nothing to worry about there. Send a pm if interested. Thanks for looking.
