Just curious, been posting in the acoustic guitar area, and while the response is as polite as it can ever get 'round these parts, most definitely not enthusiastic. I'm a guitar player as well, but have focused on uke for the last 7 or 8 years. Cool little instrument. The stuff I play be in the links in the sig if yer so inclined.
I got a nice Ibanez acoustic-electric Ukulele in December. It was an awesome instrument, but I had to send it back because of faulty electronics. Loads of fun to play though. I actually started teaching my friend to play it. I think I'm gonna get her one of her own for graduation.
I've played ukes for about 10 years now, though I had to sell mine a couple of years ago during a lay-off. I did a lot of Tin Pan Alley stuff from the 1910's through the 1940's on it.
I learned that you have to invest a bit of money to get a good uke; I had a Bushman Jenny. I hope to replace it soon.
2-3 yrs ago I got an AnueNue long neck tenor for Christmas. Fun little buggers ukes are. Probably the perfect "couch instrument". Here's a couple of vids form back when I first got it.
aNueNue does a good job with their line of ukes. They have a really interesting Nunes copy (Leonardo, not his father). The "Vision 1879" is what they call it, but it is based on a c. 1917 model. Solid Hawaiian Koa, peanut shape, super light.
