Baton Rouge UTW-C Wild Service Tree

I bought this ukulele as a present for my wife, looking for an all solid wood ukulele, that will be comfortable to play and not very expensive. At a first glance it looks very nice, but if look closer you will see flaws. It is expected at such a price, but still anoying. The nut was not filed flush with the neck and there is a protruding edge, that is catching your fingers. The tuners are very cheap and don't work well. The finish has dust particles that were sprayed on and you can feel them running your hand on the body. It looks like the factory had a rushed order and QC was not very thorough. Intonation is not very good either, but it is fine for that kind of instrument, and probably due to poor factory strings. The frets on the other hand are very good, and it has a nice comfortable neck, a little bit on the narrow side. Soundwise it is excellent. Snappy and with good sustain, and I hope that the sound will improve over time being an all solid wood instrument - you can feel when you are playing that the whole body vibrates. All in all a good instrument that has a poor QC.
