Skip the queue, it’s ready to ship!
The Body
Classic seafoam green on a handcrafted reclaimed Meranti body.
Seasoned by decades of exposure as part of a building, our reclaimed wood is both strong and lightweight, with exceptional resistance to atmospheric changes.
The Neck
Unleash your full musical potential with our hand-shaped Maple neck with a Wenge fretboard, designed for great playability. Ebony coloured dot markers make chords easy to place.
Experience smooth and effortless playability with no fret buzz, thanks to a carefully executed fret job.
Fitted with an adjustable truss rod, the Bubinga neck is, however, robust enough for a ukulele-sized instrument, so you likely won’t need to make any adjustments.
Resonant Hand-carved 35mm (1.38″) Bone Nut.
The Pickups
Classic triple single coil neck pickups. Single coils produce a bright sound with lots of zing.
A five way selector switch coupled with tone and volume controls, which allows for easy control of a wide range of tonal effects from the ukulele itself.
Discover unparalleled tone with pick-ups that are hand scatter wound and treated with the traditional method of wax potting. The hot bees wax soak enhances the distinctive tone and eliminates any unwanted feedback.
Other Stuff
MOP scratchplate.
This 17 inch lefty tenor solid body electric ukulele is carefully set-up with a comfortable low action, so that its ready to rock, straight out of the box!

The Sound
This is a solid body baritone electric ukulele with a unique sound that lends itself to being played with over-drive and other standard electric guitar effects. As such it needs to be played through a guitar amplifier.

Strings are regular electric guitar strings. You can use a set of 11’s and add a 13 for a high g or use the fourth string from the set for a low G. You can use thinner strings but the tuning stability becomes less manageable with thinner strings. Thicker strings are also ok. 12’s give a tight feel but 13’s are a bit too stiff. It comes down to personal preference.
