The Pickups

Our pickups are classic style, custom hand wound, single coil alnico5 magnet pickups on the neck and bridge positions. Single coils produce a bright jangly yet full range sound with lots of zing and plenty of bite on the bridge pickup.

For Controls a three way selector switch coupled with tone and volume controls, gives the player a pallete of tonal effects from the ukulele itself.

Discover unparalleled tone with pick-ups that are carefully 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.
