Gold Tone GU-100 Full Review | Ukeeku.com

The Gold Tone GU-100 Mahogany Soprano ukulele leaves much to be desired. While it's sturdy and well-made, its appearance is underwhelming, with a thick top and flat finish that scream "budget." The sound is quiet and mellow, hindered by the thick top, even after swapping the strings for Aquilas. Intonation is a bright spot, with a well-set bridge and saddle, but overall volume and sustain are lackluster. The comfort and tuning stability are decent, thanks to geared tuners, but the ukulele feels heavy with a neck that's slightly too big. This instrument seems more like a catalog filler than a standout choice in Gold Tone's lineup.
