Ohana CK-20CE Cutaway Electric Acoustic Solid Mahogany Top

Rawk n Roll people.
The Ohana CK-20CE has an active battery powered pickup and EQ for when you need to be amped up. 


This is an electric acoustic version of one of Ohana Ukuleles best selling acoustic instruments, the Ohana CK20. 



MAHOGANY SOLID TOP.
The solid mahogany top is a great addition to a ukulele in this Price range.  The solid top vibrates with a clear and strong sound, and being solid the wood will age and sound better and better every year.

PICKUP ... PLUG IN ... POWERRRRRR
The CK-20CE is fitted with a pickup and that mean you can lug it into an amplifier or PA system ...Powerrrrrr.
You get a full featured battery powered Pre-amp system toi go with thwe pickup so you can use the bass and Treble sliders to craft your desired tone from

a bright rack tone to a smooth Jazz tone with the treble backed down.  Plenty of output volume too.

PLAYING SOLOS ARE A BREEZE.
The Neck is a nice contuour and dimension.  Personally I like the Ukes with wider fatter necks, they are just more comfotable.  That's part of why I like

Ohana Ukuleles, their necks are just right, not too thin or too shallow,  generouse with the shape of the rear of the neck full and round in your left hand.

Very comfortable. And the cutaway body style makes access to the top frets easy for soloing.

OHANA SK-70MG Soprano Ukulele Solid Spruce top Flame Mahogany Back and Sides

OHANA SK-70MG Soprano Ukulele.

$325 In Australia.

Great looks and great, clear, ringing tone from this gorgeous Ohana soprano uke.

The top is solid spruce and the curley flamed mahogany back and sides look beautiful alongside it.

It is the latest model with the quality Grover Geared Machine heads (the older ones were friction tuners)  so tuning is easy and reliable, being Grover Tuners it will be for years to come.

This ukulele has the Italian Aquila strings fitted, but as per our norm you can also get it setup for Worth strings at no extra charge.

Flamed mahogany adds beauty and a sweet tone, while the spruce top brings "punch" to the mix.
The abalone rosette and gloss finish give a touch of richness to the appearance.
