The Body
Midnight Blue burst on Reclaimed Meranti.
Our reclaimed Meranti has spent decades as part of a Cape Town house and has all the benefits of torrefied timber. The wood is strong, light, stable and very resistant to atmospheric changes.
The Neck
Unleash your full musical potential with our hand-shaped reclaimed Imbuia neck and Wenge fretboard, designed for great playability. Ivory coloured dot markers make chords easy to place.
Matching midnight blue burst headstock.
No fret buzz thanks to a meticulously executed fret job, ensuring a smooth and effortless playing experience.
Adjustable truss rod fitted.
Resotone 35mm 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.
Phase inversion switch for additional versatility.
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
White scratchplate.
This 19 inch baritone solid body electric ukulele is carefully set-up with a comfortable low action, so that its ready to rock, straight out of the box!
Ideal for kids and adults of all ages.
Many of the parts are created in-house from scratch, eg the bridge control plate, pickups and the neck. The only outsourced parts are the electronics and the machine-heads.

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.
