Product Description

Johnson ukuleles are superbly built from fine woods. The clean workmanship and excellent fret dressing are the first things you might notice about our well-loved ukuleles. The necks are nicely shaped and finished in a satin lacquer to give them an excellent feel. They are available in the traditional mahogany woods, or with more budget oriented specs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Serious? Yeah, Serious Fun!, December 27, 2004

This instrument is 95% serious but then who'd really want a 100% serious ukulele! I had some junky Hawaiian vacation type ukes before I bought this one. It's not much more expensive than a junker and really worth the money. However, you MUST buy new good quality strings to get it to play properly. Right now I'm using Martin M600 Standard Ukulele Strings. I've used D'Addario J65 Ukulele Strings and found them good as well. I can only find ukulele strings on the internet - local stores never stock them.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but I'd only recommend to beginners., March 12, 2009

I bought this as a beginner, and because of that I think it's a lot of fun. That being said, don't buy this if you're expecting a fabulous instrument. If you're just starting out and not willing to pay a lot of money for a better instrument, I recommend it, but be aware that it may have some problems. There is glue visible on mine, for one. It also feels like it is made out of pretty cheap materials. The thing that bothers me the most, though, is that I cannot get it to stay in tune. I have to tune it way more often than I should have to. I am unsure if this is a problem with the tuning pegs or if it's a problem with the strings, but it's a complete pain either way. Next time I buy a uke, I plan on spending a little more for something of better quality.
