@basschick/jhempel - there is a lot of overlap with uke and guitar - not least that the top 4 strings of a guitar are tuned the same (albeit at a different relative pitch) so chord positions are familiar (a D chord on a guitar makes a G on the uke, fingered exactly the same way)
The playing technique though can differ - traditionally they are held to the body, high up and strummed at end of fingerboard with fingers, not behind sound hole.
Otherwise, lots of similarities.
@Salgano - I was in two minds about the setup section, because it is so easy to mess things up - think I put in enough warnings not to go too fast. Glad yours worked out.
I encourage anyone buying an instrument (whatever it is) that they need to learn how it works, how it is set up. Always seemed daft to me to have a guitar and have to rely on paying a tech every time I needed work.
