The flame acaciakoa two hole uke arrived today (left), and it's not the exact color I was expecting from the online image I saw (right). Obviously not seeing it in person is a risk, but it's still very nice, and really sounds good, lots of presence. It tuned up easily with Aquila nygut strings.
I may follow the lead of the other posts and give it a glossy finish, which seemed to enhance all the grain on their samples. Until I decide, I'll hold off adding a strap button and side mounted preamp/tuner/battery unit. I'm also going to lower the action at the saddle. (Please excuse the poor masking I did, quick-down-and-dirty.)
