Hello everyone, I've not been on for a few months, got drawn back into the world of guitars. Nevertheless I saw something ukulele related which really sparked my interest and I was wondering if anyone has a take on it ?
I've noticed that more and more Guitar brands are entering the uke market. For example, I've just seen that Gretsch have released a series of ukes, I think Gretsch are fender owned and I was curious as to the design of the Gretsch, basically are they a variation on the fender series of ukes? Also are they any good? Furthermore, I've also spotted a Takamine range of ukes. Has anyone got any information on these, once again are they any good?
I have a soft spot for Gretsch and I realise they used to make ukes back in the day. Nevertheless, this new series really intrigues me due to the aforementioned soft spot.
I know someone will have a good take on this and the ukes mentioned.
Cheers.
PS. the reason I've not been on here for a few months is that I had to smash the uke habit, it really was getting ridiculous, eating, sleeping, thinking ukes! Totally neglecting all other instruments which wasn't a good step for me as I gig primarily using the acoustic guitar. Hopefully I can become a responsible user of ukes in the future.
