Location: Paris/France | Hello,
I was looking for this toy since a long time and he's now at home since this morning.
I love it because it a so nice instrument and it sounds good.
According the seller, this is a limited run especially made for Hawaii but I don't know anything else about it.
Maybe someone could give me some info about this model??
He looks like a "baby Ovation" and he's got his place in my music room with his red soprano brother all his sisters. :D

Location: GA USA | That's a beauty, and being a tenor, it probably sounds good too. Congratulations, Jérôme. Now you need to build a new cabinet for the amp out of koa. |

Location: Paris/France | I'll take it with me for the next performance even if I forgot the chords of "A Wither Shade of Pale"!!
I'm now learning "Something" from the Beatles and I'm not too bad... ;)
The Uke is a very funny instrument and I'm motivated to learn.

Location: Paris/France | It's a Celebrity model made in Korea but with the Ovation logo on the headstock.
It's my first Ovation instrument from Asia and I have to admit that I can't find any defect on this one!!
The action is low, very easy to play and the finish is perfect.
