    I have been playing this ukulele nearly continuously for the couple of days since I received it, and I've been very pleased with the setup of the instrument, the quality of its sound, and its intonation (the compensated bridge is a nice touch). It is also visually striking, with very nice figuring of the wood, and well-done binding and inlays. Mine is more of an aqua blue than the deeper royal blue pictured on the website, and I prefer the blue-green color, so that was a pleasant surprise. The fishman preamp works well and sounds nice when plugged in. I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I wish it came with a bag or case, but that is easily remedied.

    I ordered this online because my local Guitar Center didn't have it in stock. I spent a little more money on this Uke because I thought it looked great. When it arrived it was a darker blue than in the photos making the wood grain way less noticeable, but I wasn't going to nitpick that. However within a week or so one of the tuning peg plates came apart and the string started buzzing. Took it to my local Guitar Center. The repair department crazy glued the screw back in and tried to shim the bridge. Still didn't fix the buzz and I wasn't happy that a brand new instrument had to be glued and shimmed. So I asked them to replace it. They are. I have to say I'm a little disappointed right now. I don't like buying musical instruments online and this is why. We'll see what happens when the replacement comes in.

    This a beautiful ukulele. Each individual ukulele in this style sounds a little different, so I recommend that you play it in the store before buying it. I played 3 different ones-- 2 sounded dull, and the one I bought had a very bright rich quality. It also comes in 3 colors -- natural (light brown), blue, and aqua. The blue is almost black-- much darker than the photo-- but very beautiful. I bought the aqua one. The ukulele is heavy, solid, and has a thick neck, which makes fingering the chords easier. I'm very happy with this purchase.

    It's a great acoustic electric ukulele that works like a charm. It has a really accurate tuner built in which i love. The only thing I would note is that the blue finish is much darker than it appears on the website. It's much more of a navy blue.
