Alvarez Grateful Dead concert ukulele with Lightning design. Very cool looking and sounding ukulele. Lightweight and easy to play with a bright and lively tone.

This groovy ukulele features an emergent rendering of the iconic 13-point Lightning Bolt logo created by Owsley Stanley and first appearing within the Steal Your Face logo on the album History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One. The Lightning bolt is revealed between a cluster of dancing bears on the right, and iconic red roses on the left. Stanley originally designed the lightning bolt as a symbol to identify the band’s equipment on the road, but the striking imagery evolved into the band’s album artwork and other logos. The Lightning uke is a fantastic instrument with a sound as colorful as the artwork!

*All of our ukuleles are inspected and adjusted before they are shipped. Our goal is to provide you with a ukulele that is set-up for optimal playability on arrival. Our facility is meticulously humidified to maintain optimal humidity % for ukuleles to thrive in. We also partner with manufacturers that take pride in their work. Ukes are set-up and inspected prior to shipping to us so there's usually not much to adjust. However, climates and conditions can change during shipments and is why we inspect every instrument before we ship to you. We inspect things like...

Level frets, smooth fret ends, optimal string height at the 3rd and 12th fret, nut and saddle heights, conditioning of the fretboard, functionality of electronics and tuner (if applicable), tuning key function, neck buzz, and overall cosmetic appearance. As always, we don't send anything out that we wouldn't want to play ourselves. Aloha!!

All Aloha City Ukes are inspected, conditioned, polished and set up as necessary. Most of our manufacturers inspect the ukes and set them up before we get them, however if they need extra attention from changes in climate or anything else, we always address it before it goes out. We can also add a strap button for an additional $8.00 or do a Low G string conversion for $5.00. As always, I don't send anything out that I wouldn't want to play myself. Aloha !!
