Sparrow Spalted Maple Custom Steel String Tenor Ukulele w/Case - Pre Loved
This is a very cool pre-loved steel string tenor from Sparrow Ukulele. This made in the USA beauty sounds amazing plugged in. You can still hear it unplugged, but it really shines when plugged in. It's also a good practice uke if you want to play quietly unplugged. This one has a ding on the lower bout (see pics) and shows some light strum marks on the pickguard. Otherwise, it's in great condition.

If you are ready for a premium quality electric ukulele to take your tone and performance to the next level, this is the instrument for you! Sparrow electric ukuleles are handcrafted out of professional quality materials and meticulously designed to bring out the best in your sound. This semi-hollow tenor shines riffing jazz/blues licks but can also handle as much distortion and effects as you can throw at it. It is truly a “Swiss Army knife” of ukulele tone.
The solid Walnut body is machined out in one piece and the Spalted Maple top is inset directly into the body. This makes for a much lighter and more responsive ukulele with a ton of sustain! The overall tone is a bit more “woody” than a standard solid body uke and definitely leans more towards the jazz/blues sonic territory.
The Maple neck and Brazilian Cherry fingerboard provide a nice contrast to the body aesthetic and the two-way adjustable truss rod insures perfect playability in any climate or region. !
The humbucking pickup is custom wound in house to provide a warm, rich and snappy tone. This pickup sports Alnico 5 magnets and 42 gauge wire providing a touch sensitive playing experience with tons of sonic nuance! The controls are volume and tone, but pulling out on the tone knob deactivates half of the humbucker pickup and engages the “coil split” function. In split mode, the uke is capable of glassy, crystal clear clean tones common to a single coil pickup. You won’t find this versatility on any other uke!
The tuners are 21:1 ratio and have very low backlash. This means that tuning is very easy to dial in and amazingly stable!
The nut is hand carved bone and the bridge saddles are individually adjustable for string height and intonation.
This ukulele comes two strap buttons installed!
