I’d like to know players comments on wooden fretboard on Fluke. I have a tenor Fluke with poly keyboard. Is is worth either a.) sending in to get one put on or b.) better to sell what I got and re order with solid keyboard. Anybody take the laminate base model soundboard route but at time of order specify wooden fretboard?
This was a father day present five years ago. I love the gesture and like the Fluke but had to change and install peghed myself within first month. Just hated the stock friction. Now it’s easier to keep in tune. I’m still not the biggest fan of pegheds but they fit and look good and install was simple and went smoothly. The laminate soundboard has dried out and sound pretty good.
I find the poly keyboard to be ok but hard to see. I paid up the frets to see them and now just think if I had wooden fretboard, it might okay and feel better thus I’d play it more.
Does the addition of wooden fretboard make it that much better playing? I’ve been eyeing a all solid spruce or Koa, pegheds and wooden fretboard
But they get awfully expensive for a ukulele that I envisioned would be an outdoor uke, take anywhere.
I always take care of my instruments so playing outdoor occasionally but not on beach. Take on airplane yes. Just something small to bring along.
Thanks in advance for comments. Hope everyone is doing well in these time we find ourselves in. Also, hope UU servives.
Cheers
