Signature concert ukulele by Billy Watman with pickup for great stage performances.
Distinctive sound thanks to selected tonewoods.
Construction & Sound
The ebony back and sides are complemented by a solid spruce top, the most popular wood for guitar tops. The hard, inelastic nature of the material results in a sound body that vibrates well and guarantees lasting pleasure for the ears. The spruce enriches the sound with round, soft tones and distinctive trebles. This clearly defined sound is ideal for numerous musical genres.
A cutaway for access to the high registers.
Playability
Great importance was also attached to comfort with this model. The okoume neck with ebony fingerboard sits comfortably in the hand. The 37 mm wide nut meets the criteria required for flatpicking and strumming. A new type of cutaway also offers unhindered access to the high registers. The player-friendly beveled armrest stands out in particular, providing comfortable support for the forearm. Thanks to this, long performances and jam sessions can be mastered in complete relaxation.
The pickup system ensures the perfect performance that makes every song shine
Electronics
For perfectly tuned stage shows, the ukulele is equipped with a pickup system with Ortega Magus X/U Preamp. The system ensures unadulterated transmission and, in addition to a volume control, has a 3-band equalizer for individual adjustment of the bass, mid-range and treble. This enables precise adjustment to the ambient conditions and personal preferences. The integrated tuner ensures consistent sound quality.
The finish, visual details and signature inlay make this model an absolute must-have for fans.
Design
The visual design of the small guitar also leaves nothing out. The natural high-gloss finish accentuates the grain of the wood, while the white ebony body is particularly striking. The bindings with the recessed walnut armrest are perfectly matched to the ornate rosette. The concert ukulele is given a personal touch by the artist with a characteristic hat inlay on the twelfth fret and the laser-engraved signature on the headstock.
