LUAU S TENOR UKULELE SWEETGRASS CE

Sustainable, solid-topped Breedlove ECO Collection Luau S Series myrtlewood ukuleles feature a resonant core tonewood layer of clear-cut free, individually harvested African mahogany in place of typical tonerobbing softwoods for back and sides. Sharing a Pacific Ocean coastline with Hawaiian koa, native Oregon myrtle has a similar bright ping, but borrows some of mahoganys depth and warmth for a unique, powerful ukulele presence. Tenor ukes, the favorite of hailed modern aces like Jake Shimabukuro, have a throaty sonority that appeals to guitar players and a longer 17 scale that facilitates translating hot licks from six strings to four. In popular Sweetgrass finish, this Luau boasts UK-TI electronics and a soft cutaway for easy play all the way up the neck.
