Whoa !!!! That must be the model with the built-in coffee maker.

I have put a set of Martin M-600's on it, and it is very nice!
Got the all-black version of the Flight TUS-35 soprano a couple of days ago (just like Lee's, who started this particular thread). I have "tricked it out" a little by replacing the stock black-buttoned tuners with white-buttoned Grovers, and also by using those little white plastic tuning post covers in lieu of the standard chrome bushings in the headstock holes (which holes I had to enlarge ever-so-slightly from the back side in order to allow the Grover posts to slide through smoothly). This uke was perfectly fine out of the box, but I thought it might be fun to give it a little visual "pop" by making these alterations. I think it looks pretty good, kinda different.

What does Presto Music charge for shipping to USA?
They charged me $3.70, and the total price came to 42.45 including the shipping.
I just ordered one in orange from Presto Music in england to be shipped to me in Oakland CA.
Bill,Hey dcuttler, I have the orange Flight soprano too, and I have grown to like it a lot. I think it's the first "composite" type uke I've owned that doesn't sound like "strings over a bucket" (an expression I picked up from one of our respected forum members). I tried Fremont blacklines on it, which made for a good visual effect, and they sounded nice and played accurately, but sonically I have found Martin M-600's to be a little sweeter. Of course, this time next week I'll probably have blacklines on it again, you know how it goes. I did replace the stock tuners with similar-looking Grovers. I feel like this uke can hold its own with many of its more expensive brethren.
