I've been playing guitar for nine years
i started with acoustic and now can do bass electric classical and even synth...
i am thinking of broadening my horizon of stringed instruments to a uke, banjo, mandolin... and chose to try uke first...
now all i need is a decent uke for $40-50 which actually sounds like a uke when fitted with aquilla strings
i had no idea about which brands to go for till yesterday but from what i've read at UU and other places i'm preferably supposed to go for a lanikai or mahalo with aquilla strings
i have no idea what a *setup* is
and
i dont know what wood is preferred
also following strict tonal qualities for guitars i wanna do something diff for a uke and get a flying v shape or something
i saw a badaax
http://www.amazon.com/Badaax-Flying...cal-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1331310175&sr=1-6
but saw it get pretty bashed on forums
my main attraction to it was because of the pickups
if i buy a normal uke can i get pick ups fit into it?
also i have to buy from amazon cause i have a gift cert
is this ok?
http://www.amazon.com/Mahalo-U-40WT...cal-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1331304731&sr=1-4
please dont tell me not to buy it unless this is like the bc rich of ukes
cause i found the sound pretty ok

can i get a pick up fit into that?
my only issue with this is that i feel it has less no. of frets?
also what size is this
is it a soprano?
and someone told me "a guitarist should always go for a baritone"
so how is this?
cause i wanted something diff anyway...

i couldnt find a decent tenor on amazon and dont want a concert...
thank you in advance
and sorry for the long post but i've always found it easier to help someone on guitar forums who has described exactly what they want!
