Ok, so, I haven't posted here before, but I have on occasion read some threads.
I originally learned the Ukulele in the island nation of Samoa, I reveived a Leolani brand soprano for my birthday, and later upgraded to a concert sized mahogany by the same brand - it's such an amazing instrument - sounds better than the makalas and other ukes in the same price I find at guitar center.
At one point, I owned an ibanez exotic rosewood acoustic electric, but it had a dull, muted sound, so I returned it.
Here's my conundrum, and my plea:
I have known of Eleuke brand electric ukuleles for awhile now, but it wasn't ever in my budget, and i'm very much an amateur player, so I never really looked at them.
Well, my wife just ordered me one of the new 2014 eleukes(a tenor sized one) for my birthday(this past monday). It's not here yet, but she says she emailed eleuke and they responded saying it'd ship on the 15th of september...
So i go back online and read about eleukes - youtube videos make me excited - they look (and sound) amazing.
But here on the forum, I guess most people don't really like 'em at all and complain a lot about really low quality. And this worries me greatly.
Are they really so bad? Are they inherently bad, or is it just a quality-control issue where you can either get a good one, or a bad one, if you're unlucky?
Any information would be appreciated, and don't mince your words - let me have it if I'm in for a major disappointment...
