I received my Pono MB-6, Mahogany Guilele from HMS yesterday. This is my first order from HMS and my first Pono. I want to say that I'm really happy with both.
It took about 3 weeks to get it shipped, as HMS is currently working with less staff. But the wait was worth it. The full set-up is perfect. I'm a fingerpicker, so the action is exactly how I like it. Also, I'm loving the 1 3/4" nut width, which is what I have on all my acoustic guitars. The nearly 2" nut width on the Cordoba Mini that I used to own was just too wide for me. This is more like what I'm used to. The Pono tone, intonation, sustain and fit and finish is great. I started out with the A to A tuning, which was nice, but then I dropped down to G to G and I think that's what I'm going to keep it at. It just sounds a bit nicer for the type of music I play.
The Oahu hardshell case is really nice, and it has two strap attachment points on the outside for the shoulder strap that came with it. So, that will come in handy when I go to jams/festivals.
I couldn't be happier. And now, the required pictures.
