Before purchasing this Lanikai ukulele, I had played around on my son's Fender uke for a month and a half. I wanted something a little bigger for my adult sized hands, and this combination of the concert size and the slightly roomier neck on the Lanikai was just what I needed.
I swapped out the stock strings, which were decent enough, for a set of Low-G tuned Aquila Reds, which not only look good with the mahogany wood, but also give a nice rich sound. I find that the tuners do a pretty good job of keeping things where they should be without having to retune the instrument daily.
I'm also happy with the frets on the neck. Some manufacturers leave rough, almost sharp, edges on the frets on their less expensive models. I really dislike that. The Lanikai is not like that at all. The fit and finish is very fine.
I've been playing the MAC daily for months now. I'm not sure exactly how this would be, but I swear that the sustain on the Lanikai is constantly improving over time. I don't know if the strings are adjusting or if it is the body of the uke itself, but this thing keeps getting better and better as I play it.
Considering the relative low cost and high quality of the Lanikai MAC, I wonder just how much better a much more expansive instrument would be. I doubt I'll find that out very soon, though, since I love the one I have already...
