Frequently Asked Questions
The mahogany offers a warmer, less bright tone than koa – more mellow and less ‘sparkly.’ It’s a different flavor, but still quite pleasing.
While the design is the same, the placement of the laser tattoo can vary slightly from ukulele to ukulele, making each one a bit unique.
Intonation is acceptable for the price point, but expect minor deviations towards the higher frets – a professional setup could improve it.
