The Body
Handcrafted from reclaimed Meranti, which has all the same benefits as torrefied timber. This timber has been part of a Cape Town house for decades and as a result is wonderfully stable. Finished in Midnight Blue Burst. Stainless steel hardware.
The Neck
Unleash your full musical potential with our hand-shaped 17″ mahogany neck and reclaimed Imbuia fretboard, designed for great playability. Ivory resin dot markers make chords easy to place.
No fret buzz thanks to a meticulously executed fret job, ensuring a smooth and effortless playing experience.
Matching midnight blue burst headstock
Resotone 35mm Nut.
The Pickups
2 single coil P90 style pickups, warmer than our standard single coils but with more power.
A 3 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 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.
The tenor Parson sounds identical to the tenor Jazzmistress when fitted with 2 P90’s, of which there are plenty of examples on YouTube.

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.
