Strong match

Who this is for

  • Open mics and small gigs where micing a uke is impractical
  • Players who work above the 12th fret for melody lines
  • Anyone wanting koa's warmer voice over spruce brightness

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who never amplify and would rather spend on wood
  • Anyone needing baritone or guitar-style low tuning
  • Buyers set on a solid-top instrument specifically

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Koa top, back and sides

Koa is warmer and more midrange-focused than spruce. Sweetens over time and suits strummed chords.

Detail 02

Onboard preamp with EQ and tuner

Plug straight into a PA or amp, shape tone at the jack, and tune silently on stage.

Detail 03

Cutaway body

Opens access to the upper frets for melody and solo work rather than chords alone.

Detail 04

19 frets, 14-7/8-inch scale

Concert scale gives more room than soprano without baritone's stretch. Standard ukulele tuning and chord shapes.

Detail 05

Chrome die-cast tuners

Geared tuners hold better than friction pegs, which matters with nylon strings that constantly stretch.

Detail 06

Compensated saddle

Saddle is shaped per string so chords stay in tune further up the neck.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Battery for the preamp and a cable are not included — check before a gig
  2. 02No case or strap included; cutaway bodies need a case that fits the shape
  3. 03New nylon strings drift out of tune for the first week

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Do I need an amp to play it?

No. It works as a normal acoustic concert ukulele. The preamp is only there for when you want to plug in.

02Is the koa solid or laminate?

Koa is used on the top, back and sides. Construction is not stated beyond that, so ask before buying if solid wood is your requirement.

03What size is a concert ukulele?

Body is roughly 23.25 by 7.7 inches with a 14-7/8-inch scale. Bigger than a soprano, smaller than a tenor, standard uke tuning.

04Does it come with a tuner?

A tuner is built into the onboard preamp, so you tune from the instrument itself. No separate clip-on tuner is included.
