I really love my Streetmaster - loud, resonant, good sustain, sounds like a Martin. I wish instead of two tone "road wear" they would have picked one of the colors and used it on the whole body. It would be cheaper and look better. The gold Martin logo on the headstock looks cheap and I had one of the letters fall off. I was able to glue it back on. I like the tuners but they are a bit prone to stripping out if you put too much tension on a string (like accidentally putting the wrong string on, uh oh). Replacement Tune-a-Lele tuners are easily purchased online. I like that I don't have to worry much about the finish - it already looks sort of weird and worn so no worries taking the uke places. Intonation is spot on, action is great, tone is really nice. When I have an unplugged uke band practice I often grab the Streetmaster because I know I will hear myself. It's ugly enough that nobody will be trying to steal it, though the looks are growing on me. I'm happy to take it places I wouldn't take my Iz model or my vintage Martin.
