Electro-acoustic cutaway soprano ukulele from Artist series that has been carefully designed with a solid A+ Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides to deliver an open sound and response with good projection, volume and fine tone. It is constructed with a dovetail neck joint connecting at 12th fret level for optimal strength and transfer of energy between the mahogany neck and body. The bracing design is a modification on traditional fan style braces to optimize response. The response is also aided by a solid "slotted" rosewood bridge, which enhances projection and helps to make string changes easier and quicker. Other appointments and features include the AUE-20 pickup/preamp with EQ and digital tuner for optimal live performance, 17-fret rosewood fingerboard, real bone nut and saddle, ivory ABS/herringbone binding, premium chrome closed-back tuners and Aquila Nylgut strings. Scale length is 344 mm, nut width is 35 mm. Natural colour design with semi-gloss finish.
