I have over a dozen ukuleles, including an Ohana Solid Mango worth over $400. I couldn’t resist buying this mango for only $99. Too good to be true? No, it’s the real deal!
PROS:
True gloss SOLID mango! SOLID!!!!
The electronics are GREAT! Built in tuner, volume knob and 3 way tone control! Not to mention it is dead quiet through an amp when not played!
No sharp frets, and everything is what they call “tidy construction”
Sounds great plugged or unplugged!
Comes with gig bag, strap, hangar, picks, cloth and more!
Piezo pickup is good and even across all 4 strings.
Beautiful instrument and nice finish!
Cons:
A few high frets, but not much
Not the best strings (typical)
Action kind of high out the box. Over 3mm at 12th fret.
Intonation gets sharp up the neck…it may be because the strings are too high off the fretboard.
I plan to put Worth Brown strings on it (my favorite!)
Put a bone saddle in and sand it down for a goal of 2mm at 12th fret. That might cure the sharp intonation.
Maybe sand the nut down a bit…but it’s not too high. Out the box it’s very playable.
So the Ohana Mango cost 4x as much as this and it isn’t even electric….is it 4x better? No! This uke is well done! Easily one of my favorites now, and once I adjust it a bit, it should really impress! I also ordered the Caramel Solid Acacia Acoustic/Electric as it’s only $79 (?!?!). Wow! Acacia is basically koa wood not grown in Hawaii. I also have a Caramel uke bass, and it’s great too! Proof you don’t have to spend a lot to get a great instrument! I have ukes over $600 and this Caramel holds it’s own right up with them! Overall I am very impressed!
