but if you are like me, and NOT a serious uke player
Got it today, and here is my words on it. Bag a little tatty, but if you are like me, and NOT a serious uke player, this is for you.You can amp it up and drive people nuts, or shove headphones on and be a little quiet with it. I got it coz Im often away from home and in B&Bso I got this so I can practice and have some phunn with without disturbing others. Great little uke, worth every penny

Very useful for practice, might need shimming at the bridge
Very convenient size and not heavy. Good to practice chords, not loud without amplification. Very nice finger board and spread of strings suits my fingers nicely. No power switch provided but it draws no power from the battery if nothing is plugged into either output jack. However: the bridge height is not adjustable and the E string rattled against frets - I fixed this with a little bit of card (shim) between the string and the bridge; my amp had a slight buzz with the uke plugged in; it doesn't quite sound like a ukulele, but I think the sound can be adjusted to be pleasant and acceptable; the acoustic (piezoelectric) pickup in the bridge is less forgiving of any sharp noises on the strings, such as improper fingering against frets or touching fingernails on the strings. The bag is useful for carrying the uke but would be even better if it had an accessory pocket e.g. for plectrums, cappo etc. I'm pleased with my purchase thank you, and by describing it as "silent" I was able to obtain financial approval from my wife.

My daughter is really enjoying this instrument
I bought this as a gift for my daughter. She used to play the guitar a bit but wanted to get an electric Ukulele for portability and compact size. This fits the bill nicely. It is well made and can be used with headphones or with an external amplifier (most Bluetooth speakers have a line-in socket).One caveat: this is not silent, like a steel-stringed electric guitar. The strings are nylon so the pick-up is a microphone, not an inductive pickup like on a typical electric guitar or bass. So it DOES make a little bit of noise. This has not been an issue for us.

Good, but not guaranteed
I've had two of these. The first was excellent. Very good for travelling with. Unfortunately this was lost. The replacement lasted 3 months when the piezo electric pick up failed. Woteritrade gave me the run-around for 6 months but have not replaced it or even helped with spare parts for me to fix it. If it works it is excellent value for money, but be aware of the lack of support for any problems after purchase.

Disappointed. Rusty frets and scratched. Returned immediately
Disappointed. Straight out of the box the frets were rusty and the body was scratched around the headphone jack. Immediately returned. No confidence in the electrics given the rusty frets (did bother testing though). If this is indicative of th quality I would avoid.

Just Don't Work
Bought 3 of these and none of them worked properly. One didn't pick up on the top string, one didn't pick up on the bottom string and one didn't pick up on any strings. Such a shame because we really liked the look of the instrument and the tone of the strings that we could hear!

Great Value
fairly good build quality, sounds fine played acoustic or plugged in, could maybe hold it's tuning a little bit better, but great value
