Logjam LOGJAM02 Travelog - Got a Ukulele, October 2016  

"I like this one for the balance of size, simplicity and just sheer ruggedness to throw in your gig bag.  If you are a solo performer, I think something like this could really add new options to some of your set.  Recommended"

NB - MISTAKE ON MY PART - THE WOOD IS CORRECT IN THE CATALOGUE AND WEBSITE - THE UK20 SERIES IS ALL-SOLID SOUTH AMERICAN MAHOGANY (Swietenia macrophylla).  I passed on some incorrect information in a hurry just before the review was recorded and this is me holding my hands up to a genuine mistake 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just think, if I'd said it was Mahogany, as I had presumed all along, it could have been GaU's first 10/10 review!!  Seriously, apologies for the misunderstanding 🙂
