The AU series features very unique construction. Rather than being built with a separate top, sides, and back like most ukuleles, the body of the AU starts as a solid block of wood and is routed out, so that the back and sides are a single piece of wood. A top is then added to complete the body. This construction method gives these instruments a unique sound and brilliant playability. They also utilize distinctive features such as a Stereo Sound Port, Elevated Comfort Armrest, and Edgeless Comfort Heel.
- CASE/GIG BAG: Gig bag included.
Okoume neck
The Okoume neck provides greater playing comfort.
Purpleheart fretboard
The Purpleheart fretboard emphasizes the beauty and the rich tonal character of this instrument.
Solid Paulownia back and sides
The light weight Paulownia back and sides offer well-balanced tone with superior note definition and added brightness.
Purpleheart double hole bridge
The double hole bridge makes string changes super easy as there is no need to bend the strings or tie a knot at the end. This also helps maintain the correct string tension, which enhances tuning stability.
Stereo Sound Port System
The dual sound holes on the waist provide a unique surround sound effect, helping players more effectively monitor their sound.
Elevated Comfort Armrest
This Elevated Comfort Armrest can prevent your arm from touching the body top to provide richer sound and natural sustain while providing extreme playing comfort.
Beveled Cutaway
The Beveled Cutaway offers exceptional high fret access.
Edgeless Comfort Heel
The Edgeless Comfort Heel is smoothly rounded toward the cutaway, allowing for easy playing in any position.
Spruce top
Spruce remains the most popular wood for acoustic guitar tops, mainly due to its pristine tonal clarity.
Ibanez AEQ-2U preamp w/Onboard tuner
The AEQ-2U preamp provides the extra punch of on-board EQ and a convenient, easy-to-read digital tuner.
