Hello, I'm new here and relatively new to the ukulele, having taken my first lesson just over a year ago. I love playing my tenor and baritone ukes, but have also been drawn to the acoustic guitar. After playing around with one, I decided that it's more than I want to tackle at age 61.
HOWEVER, this steel string baritone has really captured my attention. Gives me a bit of the guitar sound that I seek, but with 4 strings and some of the uke warmth. I am seriously considering buying this steel string baritone as a retirement gift to myself. As a fairly serious cello player and having some experience with fine instruments, I know that I'll have to invest a bit to get the nice sounding wood that I want, so even though it's probably early to be making the jump to this nice an instrument, I'm ready to do it.
So, my question to you more experienced uke/guitar players is: is there anything that I should consider first to avoid regretting buying this instrument? Other models I should consider? Any comments/advice? Of course my fear is that it's so early in the game for me that I really don't even know what I don't know...
