I had bought one of these with a FIVE.O pickup from reverb after seeing/hearing the videos of it on HMS. At the time I was looking for a lower cost Spruce Top/Rosewood body uke. Sadly it was lost in shipping and never arrived. I would have rather have gotten the uke than a refund.
My first "good" ukulele and still have it and play it regularly. I've strung it with Worth Brown strings combined with a Fremont Soloist Low G string and it sounds awesome!
Mike was one of the great men in this world of ours.
Hard to believe he, and now Dirk, are no longer with us.
Beautiful instrument. A fitting tribute to our brother.
