    That 8 string is gorgeous. I guess I know what I am saving for next. On a related note... for sale, one human soul, lightly used, some minor dents & scratches but still functional.

    Ortega Guitars - Awesome support! My daughter received an Ortega Uke for her birthday last November. Turned out to have a couple unfixable buzzing strings. Even though it was a gift, purchased online by a relative, probably unauthorized channel, I took it to a semi-local Ortega dealer in FL and they contacted the Ortega representative who shipped out a replacement Uke - no charge and no questions asked! My daughter is thrilled and I know where our future Ukes will come from.

    Ortega seem to make great quality stuff. I own one of their gig bags for my tenor ukulele and its great. Feels super durable and has some nice padding material so i rarely worry about damaging my uke when carrying it around. It also looks cool, which is a bonus.

    I was like "Hey! HEY! Wait a second! You forgot the other box." And then I saw the timecode.
    The 8-string is a bit different than a 12-string guitar where the gbe courses are unison, or a mandolin. Is the G course really strung backwards with the octave ahead of the low-G on a down stroke?
