Just an FYI in case you all had not seen it yet - fellow UU brother BazMaz has a review on the Fluke SB solid body electric uke with the full write-up on his web site and video demo as well...

I had a few extra bucks this Spring and was thinking about buying a LoPrinzi. Then I ran across this thread and spent most of an afternoon reading through it. Some will regard this as heresy, I guess it is heresy, but I ended up getting the solid koa top concert Fluke with most of the options, which added up to about $700. I absolutely love it. Best $700 I ever spent. Maybe I'll still get a LoPrinzi sometime.
Good find, Jerry. I probably would have bought that one if I had seen it before ordering mine. I watched eBay and here for a couple of weeks and didn't find one. Also, I had decided I didn't mind supporting the company by paying full price for one prepared to my specifications.
Dunno if this was posted already, but saw this vid comparing 3 concert Fleas: 1 with standard hoop pine top, 1 with solid koa, and 1 with spruce. What differences, if any, do you hear?
On my PC speakers (which are the limiting factor here) I'm getting more sustain and warmer tone on the koa. Brighter initial attack but a quick falloff on the spruce. And a comparatively muffled sound on the laminate. However, that confirms my prejudices going in, so perhaps I am hearing my expectations more than any actual differences.Dunno if this was posted already, but saw this vid comparing 3 concert Fleas: 1 with standard hoop pine top, 1 with solid koa, and 1 with spruce.

What do I like/hate: Hate the plastic fretboard on the Flea. Hard to see the frets. Got old eyes!! Problem solved with the Neck Illusion vinyl fret covers. Added a vinyl sound hole Madela and now it rocks!
Is a madela that backward-S cutout?
