I think it looks pretty fine, if someone here uploaded this pic they'd get plenty praised.
If you sell online eBay etc then Yes it certainly is a threat. But you are already all a threat to each other in that environment, there's plenty guys on here sell em (often at substantially lower standard than this one imho) for less than a hundred bucks already. Get out and sell em in person to real players and these Chinese ones will be of no consequence to you....

There is lots of great 3 string pickup makers, and some really nice bridges too....if the Chinese follow that and make 3 string stuff we know there watching us close!

Exactly my point. They will be watching and you can bet your bottom dollar it`ll be 3 string pickups and all the sundry to follow.

I also agree that for the top builders here it won`t make a huge difference,if any, but for those who make bog standard guitars that sell on ebay only,then it`ll really bite into any profits.

Like the Kid says, that Uke is a decent piece of kit,it looks good,well made and the EQ placement looks the business.People will buy this and if,or when, they start on 3 stringers,they`ll buy them over said bog standard ebay sold guitars.

We all knew (or should have known) this was coming, when we started seeing them hit the big stages, McCartney/etc. I am not particularly worried, at least not yet.

 The funny thing is, ELEUKE has been selling these for a few years now, at least since 2010. So, nobody noticed until just now?
