OrtegaSaloon Series RUSL-HSB Archtop Concert Acoustic-Electric Ukulele Violin Sunburst
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ortega’s RUSL-HSB pairs a concert acoustic-electric ukulele format with an archtop top, real f-holes, a golden mandolin bridge, and sunburst finish. Its flamed-maple top, back, and sides are joined by an Okoume neck and walnut fingerboard. The instrument is described as warm and resonant, while the built-in MagusUke system with undersaddle piezo lets you amplify it and use its onboard tuner. A deluxe gig bag comes with it.
