You will love the sound and feel of this solid body steel string electric tenor ukulele!  The action is smooth and low and the intonation is spot on.  Thanks to our 19:1 ratio low backlash tuning gears, this uke is easy to dial in and stays in tune wonderfully. The body features the classic "SG" aesthetic and the multiple pickups offer 3 different unique sound options!

This tenor size model features Richlite fingerboard, Cherry Body (White finish), Mahagony neck and Chrome pickup bobbins. The classic Gibson style fret markers are Maple.

The pickups sport Alnico V magnets and yield a rich and touch sensitive tone and exceptional clarity. 

Both pickups are humbuckers and feature rich tone and low signal to noise ratio.  The 3-way switch offers 3 tonal combinations.

The Mahogany neck is easily adjusted with a modern, 2-way truss rod ensuring proper setup in any season or climate.  The fingerboard has a 12" radius for easy playability.

The body is designed for ergonomics and comfort.  This tenor is perfectly balanced and wonderfully comfortable.  

All Sparrow ukuleles are strung with our custom selected set of GHS strings to ensure the perfect balance of feel, playability, ergonomics, tone and intonation.  This uke comes standard with DGBE tuning.
