I'm glad that you added this thorough explanation of your thoughts and experiences.<br /><br />I looked on Amazon dot Com to see the price. It is about $70 and the reviews are plentiful. Unfortunately AdotC is currently out of stock.<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Savannah-SU-200-Baritone-Ukulele/product-reviews/B000V0IYEI/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?<br />ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1<br /><br />AdotC has the Johnson's listed at $120.HumbleUkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856459353622319763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896210443010072726.post-82015128021441210302013-01-29T03:36:20.510-08:002013-01-29T03:36:20.510-08:00I put the GHS strings on all ukes on purpose, just...I put the GHS strings on all ukes on purpose, just to make sure they had the same 'starting point' in such a little comparison: same room, same camera/mic, same chords & playing techniques. It might have been better and more thorough, I suppose. <br />Still, as an entry baritone, for people who haven't made up their mind about the instrument, that Savannah is hard to beat. Good tone, nice fretboard, solid build, good intonation....or maybe I was just lucky??<br />The Rogue is good too, but a little flatter sound-wise, and with some minor intonation issues.<br />The Johnson I got was really bad out of the box. I considered to dump it, but it got playable after I filed frets, lowered the action and adjusted not and saddle. Do not buy it if you are not prepared to do plenty of set up work. The tone of the Johnson is really sweet and mellow, and i guess that's why I took the trouble. Still more work to do on it, though. drbekkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02163498936692773132noreply@blogger.com
