I've decided to keep this now that I've replaced the low A string with a high A. It no longer drives me crazy.
I picked this Vietnamese Six String up because I thought it would be cool to play a six string, it looks really neat and the price was good. I quickly found that I don't like playing the six string. I should have known better as I don't personally like the low G on a four string. This is a solid wood uke. The inlay quality is o.k. but not super and it has some some finishing flaws where the fretboard meets the body. There is also a rough spot on the fretboard towards the body. I think the inlay on the body and headstock is really a inlay "sticker" that was layed on the body and then the body was finished. It looks o.k. The inlay on the fretboard looks like real inlay. I replaced the crappy strings that came with it with an Aquilla set. I think I've just about got them stretched so the tuning doesn't go out every five minutes. I really don't want to sell it outright, I'd rather trade it for someone's uke that sits loney in their collection. PM if you're interested and I'll e-mail you more photographs. Oh, it comes with a hard case.
