Les Paul Ukulele HCS : Not the best ukulele in the world

9 years ago

I bought this ukulele not having tried others in stores and have never owned a ukulele previously. I bought it as a new instrument to learn for a bit of fun.

The uke arrived well packed. Delivery was prompt.

The instrument is well made and looks amazing (really well finished and constructed).

In terms of sound I have to say this isn't the best sounding uku. It is rather dull and lifeless. Having tried others in stores I now have a comparison. I think that the fault (in terms of sound) is due to the shallow body of the instrument. Styling over sound I think.

The instrument does have a jack input which is very unusual for a ukulele. I've not plugged it in yet so can't comment beyond this.

Can't say I'm happy with this, but I'll keep it for now. Well made, looks lovely but certainly isn't great on sound.
