Grateful Dead Uke

This comes from a series of commemorative ukuleles by the Alvarez Guitar company. It is one of five, all Concert size. The action is very good, intonation also good, it is a beautiful instrument.

I bought the series-of-five, as a lifetime “Deadhead”, and to satisfy my U.A.S. affliction. This is my favorite of the bunch. It plays surprisingly well, very well!

I was originally drawn to the novelty factor. More so as a collectible, than an instrument … but it turned out to be a nice instrument, a fun uke!

The detail is good, overall looks, fantastic. As a commemorative, it’s perfect, as an instrument it is VERY good. Far surpasses what my expectation had been when I first ordered.

One of the things that surprised me most, was how well it holds tune. I didn’t have to go through the two-week break-in period for the strings to stretch and settle. Tuned well out of the box, and holds tune beautifully.
