Ibanez UKC100-OPN

The Ibanez UKC100-OPN Concert Ukulele delivers a surprisingly full and resonant tone for its size, thanks to its thin-laminated Sapele body and a distinctive multi-soundhole design that helps project sound directly to the player. Its compact scale and smooth neck profile ensure effortless fingering across all 17 frets, while maintaining accurate intonation over the entire 380 mm scale length. Equipped with open-gear chrome tuners, this ukulele offers reliable tuning stability and easy handling, making it a perfect choice for beginners and casual players alike. Visually, the instrument is enhanced by a natural open-pore finish, which complements the tonewoods beautifully and gives the instrument a refined, organic look.

Construction and woods

The body of the UKC100-OPN is made from laminated Sapele, a tonewood known for its warm, balanced sound, giving each note a rich, authentic ukulele character. The Okoume neck is paired with a Purpleheart fingerboard, offering a smooth playing surface and excellent tactile feedback, ideal for players of all levels. The neck’s flat profile allows for comfortable fretting, making it especially inviting for new players.

Hardware and design

Designed for reliable performance, the Ibanez UKC100 features a 37 mm nut and a well-matched saddle, ensuring accurate intonation across all strings. The chrome-plated open-gear tuners provide smooth and precise tuning action, while dot inlays on the fingerboard offer subtle visual orientation. The ukulele’s most distinctive feature is its multi-soundhole, located on the side of the body. This not only enhances acoustic projection toward the player but also adds a unique visual flair, setting the UKC100-OPN apart from standard ukulele designs.
