The Body
Weathered Forest Green on Reclaimed OldGrowth Douglas Fir.
Made from Reclaimed Old Growth Douglas Fir, which has all the same benefits as torrefied timber. The wood is strong, light, stable and very resistant to atmospheric changes.
This timber has an interesting history. We rescued it from an old German Minesweeper, the ‘Ulm’ which was built in the 1950’s out of European grown Douglas Fir. The Ulm was sold to the South Africa Navy and eventually broken up in Simonstown. There is a dark line that visible on the bout of the ukulele which is the lamination line from the original ships timbers.

No fret buzz thanks to a meticulously executed fret job, ensuring a smooth and effortless playing experience.
Adjustable truss rod fitted.
Resonant Hand-carved 35mm Bone Nut.
The Pickups
Single coil neck and bridge pickups. Singe coils have a bright sound and lots of zing.
A three 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.

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.
