I played 3 of these!They sound amazing and are ready for even the best musicians. Perfect! But for $849 I see issues.like any Ukulele, this is about $100 worth of wood, maximum. Maybe $200 for the rest of the gear.You can only make wood sound as good as wood gets.How are these worth so much when Ibanez and Luna make them for a quarter of the price and kill it every time? Nylon strings and a small amount of wood. The pickup is awesome but you could put that in a $100 ukulele and get the same thing.I’ve owned a music store for 15 years and have played countless ukes and guitars. I love Martin but dang. Really reaching for the stars on any ukulele priced over $300. They only get so good. Love Martin instruments. Just saying
