Hi, Can I check whether is this Uke having solid Mahogany top? Or just laminated. Thanks.

I believe that the top is laminated, but the fit and finish are so good that it is really difficult to tell. I have thoroughly enjoyed this ukulele, and would buy it again.

Looks like laminated top but sound quality is very good. Workmanship is excellent.

I'm not even sure what kind of mahogany it is, but the big thing is the wood isn't even cut right. Maybe mine was just a defect but the slot for the neck to screw in was not at all straight and that kept the pic guard from even fitting in place until I had to cut a piece off. I guess all that matters is that the strings are in line with the neck correctly no matter what direction the neck goes, but I wouldn't be worrying about the wood, I wouldn't even buy this unless u want a correction project

Yes it is, it's an entry level ukulele made from laminate but it's sounds and plays great for the price.

The fret board is not black. It is a dark brown wood color with the lines of the wood grain visible in a darker shade of that color. It is quite attractive. I have had this guitar for a little over a year now, and I am completely satisfied with it. It is a joy to play. Great fret action and true notes all the way up the fret. You can play it without using an amp and hear the notes well enough to practice. I actually prefer practicing that way. It's the best deal I ever got. Took it out of the box and it was just slightly out of tune. As soon as I tuned it up and played it, I knew that I had gotten the guitar that I wanted. I had played many low priced guitars in music stores, but I wasn't satisfied with any of them because they felt and sounded cheap. Not this one though. Maybe I just got lucky and got a good one, but maybe the rest of them are the same quality as the one that I have.

The one I had was most definitely a laminate body, but it's possible that Epiphone has changed the materials recently.

According to the information it is mahogany on the top, back, and sides. With a rosewood fretboard.

Yes, the top is a wood, a nato wood similar to a mahogany. Although I am a ukulele novice and I purchased it for my teenage daughter, for the price, it has quality construction and materials.

Not at all, It is simply an excellent uke with a super design. I am glad I have one.

mahogany is real wood - yes, 100% mahogany - very good uke for the price - the Luna high tide ($250) is Koa wood - better uke but twice the price

I am still using the strings (Aquila) that were on the ukulele when I got it, and I have lots of hours use on them since then. On the outside chance that I break a string, I did order a new set of Aquila CONCERT uke strings just to have them as a backup. Hope this answers your question.

I'm not sure what you mean by a solid top but it is all wood and the strings are definitely steel

I have another low end ukulele that is all. So, I cannot really give a comparison. What I can say is what I had already said about the OU5. I may, however, add that it is not pricey. Thanks.

WOW REALLY? my uku came with the pick guard installed and everything, but to be honest with you i think the pickguard is an eye sore on my uke. I've been debating either taking myne off and replacing it with a homemade wooden veneer with a color that works (the white picguard doesn't match in my opinion) or paint the white pickguard with cool designs and seal it off with some poly. and i never use a pic on my uke ever

Yes, this guitar has a solid top, (not laminated) and does have steel strings.

Mine was well packed. The uke was in an elongated triangular cardboard box inside a rectangular box - all w/ appropriate padding.

Yes, the top is solid Sitka spruce. The sides are nato, a kind of rosewood. This is a steel string guitar, not a classical with nylon string. It is a great guitar, especially for the money.
