Although I like the Outdoor Uke guitar, the Alpaca is alluring. The Alpaca is CF and has a striking look. When I first saw it several years ago I thought it was off-putting, but with time just found it different and interesting. That it's headless is part of its differentness which is accompanied by its difference in shape. For the price I think it would be worth an experimental buy. And would like to hear back regarding playability and sound.
