Default NGD Pono L-10

Had a weak moment last night while perusing Reverb, and bought a Pono L-10.

Solid acacia top, sides and back with Maple binding.

Talk to me; likey, no likey?

It's not NGD until you actually have it and post pics. But Ponos are great guitars for the money.

Never played a Pono but I've read many great things about them here on the AGF ... Congrats! Looking forward to your review.

Likey.

I have kept my antennae active in hopes of trying one. They are kind of rare, it seems, mostly because Pono is mainly a ukulele company. And the acacia sounds interesting. My favorite ukulele is an acacia with a cedar top. Sounds fabulous every time out. Also has 5 strings, with an octaved course instead of a single high G string, somewhat in the manner of a 12 string guitar.

Wouldn't mind finding an acacia guitar. Acacia is a relative of koa.

Reply what you think of it after it arrives.

Enjoy your new guitar,

Don

They aren't rare at all and they have sold guitars at least for seven or eight years (which is when I purchased one).
