It seems that companies like Kanilea, G String, Kamaka, Koaloha and Collings make 4 string ukes that cost between $800 for the basic no frills model to $3200 for the full custom models (binding, inlays, etc).
My question is... if you were given as much as $3200 to buy ONE uke (only ONE). Would you go all out and get the $3200 uke ? Or would you think, "This uke is too fancy looking and cost too much money that I'm afraid to play it, scratch it or bring it outside." Would you get a $1600 Uke that's semi custom (some binding here and there) or would you get an $800 no frills uke ?
Assuming of course that you bought the UKE on the web and are unable to play it before buying it.
My answer is I probably go all out and get a $3200 uke... because no one has that uke. But if I actually had $3200 for a uke, my answer might change.
