As much as this line appealed to me (I was the one who made that other post), if you're going to buy a soprano I would just go for a vintage Martin.
There's so many out there, for the money they are hard to beat. American made!
And if you score a deal on a beat up one, the price will be similar.
Top places to look are Ebay and Reverb. And Guitar Center has a slew of them right now, you'll find something under $500 for sure, and $300-$400 if you get lucky.
And there's a fellow here who fixes them up, I'm spacing on who it is. I came so close to buying one from him a couple times...
