Due to recent purchases by the wife, it was determined that I had accumulated enough grace points to buy a new toy. I was originally thinking about a travel guitar but got this instead today:
I love it and it's a blast. Cute little thing too.

Way to spend the brownie points. All mine get used up by the inflation here in the states (and at home).....lol
What are the specs on that sweet little toy?
Looks fun!

The top, back and sides are solid trembesi wood, also known as Saman, Rain Tree, Monkey Pod, Giant Thibet, Inga Saman, Cow Tamarind, East Indian Walnut, Coco Tamarind, or French Tamarind.
* Ivory body binding
* Abalone logo
* Abalone rosette and fret dot inlays
* Satin finish
* Grover GH305 tuners with ebony buttons
* Tusq nut and saddle
* Aquila strings
It also came with a hardshell case and a lifetime warranty. It's a pretty sweet little uke. I played four or five others before I settled on this one.

I have no idea but she didn't even flinch when I told her it was time. I'm guessing more than what the uke cost.

Absolutely not! That would triple the interest rate on anything you owed in less than a second....lol
Whatever the conversion rate is Cabro, I am jealous. That looks like fun!
Enjoy it and let us know what you think. Are you US or overseas? If US, what did that run you? Being lefty, I have to order everything, and I my interest has been piqued with the Ukes......
