**Alas, my most recent shipment of these ALL had blemishes. They are only cosmetic and honestly after playing this ukulele a ton you will put your own scratches on them. But they all had imperfections that made them less than perfect. But good news for you is, it will save you some money!
This one has a finish that is "sandy". I took a close up picture, and it is like there is a speckling where they did not smooth the metal body completely down. You can only see it if you get super close. This does not effect the sound, and can only be seen super close up and feel it when you run your hand across it. But it will save you some money!**
Gold Tone instruments are well made, well set-up, instruments that are a great quality at a good price point! Want a jazzy or bluesy loud robust resonator sound from your ukulele? Then the Resonator Ukulele is for you! It gives you a great deep and hollow tinny resonator tone, with the tuning of an ukulele. This beautiful ukulele comes with a really nice gigbag. The beautiful metal body really brings the metallic resonator tone to the next level.
From the Gold Tone Website:
The Gold Tone ResoUke will delight any ukulele player. Its 14.5" concert scale is very comfortable to play, and the ResoUke's tone carries better than that of a wood-bodied uke thanks to its reverse-cone resonator with biscuit bridge, and its resonant brass body. The Gold Tone/Beard resonator coverplate features a removable palm rest, so there's no need to detach the strings and remove the entire coverplate in order to adjust string action, break angle, string spacing or to replace the bridge saddle. The palm rest can also be shimmed to different heights for perfect right hand comfort. The ResoUke also features a bone nut, a Canadian hard rock maple bridge saddle, 14:1 geared Kluson-style tuning machine heads and custom-gauged nylon strings for the best possible tone. Includes heavy-duty gig bag.
