Does it come with an arched back or it's flat like most of the smaller (Soprano) ukes?

It's pretty much as wide as a standard guitar. The frets are just closer together. It's kind of like playing mini chords but it's still pretty fun. The neck is wider than a uke

no, But it is a quality acoustic (made overseas but still an Alvarez) it is a loud little body 18 frets, great for sitting in your lap on a puter chair or laying back on the coach or lounging around the backyard in the summer. just ordered a hard shell case because I want a hardshell for any guitar , especially acoustic guitars, also ordered some inexpensive humidifiers too

It depends on the type of ukulele you have. 'Soprano' and 'Tenor' are different types of ukuleles, depending on the size of the body and the size of the fret board. If you don't know which type you have, a tenor is approximately 26" and has more than 15 frets while a soprano is smaller and has a bout 10-15 frets and is approx 21" long. You can get away with buying tenor strings as they are longer and if they are too long i.e. you have a soprano you can just snip them shorter. hope this helps.

I am surprised it didn't come installed like mine; however, it's more for the Les Paul look than anything. Since you don't use a hard pick for ukes you don't really need it. If you are dead set on having it, I'd send it back and let them send you another. This is my favorite uke. I very seldom play it hooked it, as it sounds so melodious without the amplification. It's like a travel uke at 1/2 the cost, but with the big sound of a much more expensive uke.

Yes, it is flat, but very thin and sensitive. Not the most well made kettle, but gets the job done.

I can't say for sure. I will say the uke is fairly priced, looks great and sounds sweet. It's a nice first uke.

Hi. The back of this one is hard plastic and curved upward for the small of your back (following the normal curvature of your spine). I like that, and find the flat padded backs on others not nearly as comfortable. The only drawback to this is that there is not a soft surface for the back of your head when using the machine. Would I buy this one again? You betcha.....and a bargain price with SUPER fast delivery from the company. Box arrived in good shape and simple to put together. Roger

As kama'aina (or Hawaii local) with all four usual sizes of ukulele in my personal collection (soprano, concert, tenor, baritone) I can tell you without a doubt that this particular model is concert-sized. Additionally, most soprano ukuleles feature only 12 frets - those thin metal bars where you depress the strings - but this Epiphone has 19.

The set up from the factory was perfect for the OU5 that I got. Another Uke that I bought needed the fret ends polished . The neck on a ukulele isn't under the same stress as a guitar neck. Fewer strings with a lot less tension on a much shorter neck mean truss rod adjustments and bridge alterations aren't normally required. Most ukes don't even have truss rods so the saddle height is factory set for most players.

It is two pieces the back is adjustable so it's long when adjusted flat hope this helps

Yes it is a CONCERT size uke. You can measure the scale length (distance from nut to the bridge) to tell the size, Soprano ukes have 13" scale, Concerts 15" scale, Tenor 17", and Baritone scale is 19". You can find the same info on Wiki page to verify if you like.

I got mine in September 2013 and it came with Aquila Nylgut stings. Nice strings. Nice little uke for the price, too. Enjoy!

The neck on this guitar has a 1.75 inch nut, which provides a slightly wider string spacing for the left hand. The neck is also thicker than most acoustics. I believe Epiphone calls it a "soft V" shape. It is a shape truer to a more vintage guitar.

It is flat, except for a raised semicircular rib on the back of it. It is about 2" wide.

I'm not sure that the concert Ukulele is any bower then my regular one but I'll tell you this is a very nice case. We live in Minnesota and bring ours back and forth from church to home. We felt it is a very well made case and at a very reasonable price. Hope this helps you.

Funny you should ask this. I have a kala tenor 4 string and a Lanikai 8 string tenor. When I played my recently aquired Willie K I realized the neck was wider than my 4 string. But it turned out to be the exact width as my 8 string. Hopefully you can easily to it. In my case, I started playing on a classical guitar, so to me any ukulele neck feels small. But if not, you could at least get an aquia Red Low G string for your uke to try out for the sound. Still, the willie k gives one the advantage of both low & hi G strings, at the extra width of 1/4 inch. with a 1/4th inch difference in width.
