Aloha,
I have been sitting on a Johnson for a few years.Chinese knock off,it is what it is.Pretty little uke though.I was thinking of putting a National cone and Waverly tuners(the koa ones) from Elderly Instruments.100 bucks and I can swap parts.Anybody tried this.I am not looking to add value just want a little better sounding and looking uke.Any feedback would be appreciated.
Mahalo,
Michael
 
Hmmmm, wondering if I should do the same thing, minus the tuners, with my Kala tenor reso. I'll be watching your replies.
 
I had a Recording King that I had the existing cone adjusted to fit better and that made a big difference. Also I was surprised how much better it sounded with higher tension Worth strings.
