Just bought this amazing instrument 2 weeks ago. It is an amazing instrument for such a great price. The plastic roundback really projects the amazing warm sound and blasts away any other Uke I have heard and I know what good is. The amazing uke and plugin are such a great price and I would highly recommend this instrument to any instrument lover who want a new exotic sound.

I just picked up this uke a few days ago and it blew me away. amazing tone plugged in and acoustic. I've always wanted to learn guitar but my fingers are to fat. i had to play bass. but with this uke that is not the case. i highly recomend it to those who want a new sound.

This uke has a very sweet, rich tone. Hook it up to an amp and you get an even sweeter tone. It has wonderful action, and is loud enough to hold it's own in a jam session.

The acoustic tone is acceptable. Not a plastic toy for sure. I have two other koa wood ukes. My band mates have several more. All sound a little different. Every one can be set up to sound different, depending upon string type, string set up, and tuning used. Craftsmanship on this instrument is tops. Looks are way over the top. For the price, this uke will hold its own. the electronics are too simple to say outstanding - its ok. You need to adjust it further with the amp eq to get the tone you want. On-board electronics mean a whole lot less feedback while performing though, compared to miking the instrument and that helps a lot. I would recommend buying it, no doubt.

I love this Uke. i have had a few before and this is great for travel, playing with an amp, and recording. I have had Ovation/Applause instruments since they first came out in the 70's and have never been disappointed.
