The Body
Arctic white on reclaimed old growth Meranti. This timber has all the same benefits as 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 figured Maple neck with a Wenge fretboard, designed for great playability. Ivory coloured dot markers make chords easy to place.
Experience smooth and effortless playability with no fret buzz, thanks to a carefully executed fret job.
Resonant Hand-carved 35mm (1.38″) Bone Nut.
The Pickups
Classic single coil pickups on the neck and bridge. Single coils produce a bright sound with 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 tenor 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.

Thanks to Ryan Hofner for the sample.
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.
