Fishman-loaded Bari Uke with Cutaway Oak Body
Top, back, & sides of triple-matched, satin-finished laminate oak give the Lanikai Oak Baritone A/E Ukulele a deluxe tone and exotic good looks — all with the quick-gigging convenience that Lanikai's premiere acoustic-electric ukuleles are known for. You get the same wide, comfortable neck profile, upgraded GraphTech nut and saddle, lightweight open-back tuners, and Quick-Tie bridge that have helped make Lanikai ukuleles a household name among players in the know. This result is a great-playing, high-performance baritone that'll draw the eye hanging on your studio wall or slung over your shoulder. The Fishman Kula pickup system gives this uke rock-ready (so to speak) tones in a stage setting. Adding value are the D'Addario strings and Lanikai padded gig bag. Looking for a comfortable instrument that stands alone in a performance setting? You're going to want to check out the Lanikai Oak Baritone A/E Ukulele from Sweetwater.
Oak laminate construction
Oak is revered in acoustic instruments for its deep grain patterning and fast, full tone. The top, back, and sides of the Lanikai Oak Baritone A/E Ukulele's body are built from a quality oak laminate that has been triple-matched for grain consistency. The result is an instrument that stands alone among all other ukuleles.
Fishman Kula electronics
Lanikai partnered with pickup legends at Fishman to bring its Oak Baritone A/E a stellar plugged-in tone. Fishman's onboard Kula preamp gives you 3 bands of tone-shaping EQ, a tuner, and surface-mounted battery compartment, putting all the necessary tools of performance right at your fingertips. The Kula pickup isn't just a miniaturized guitar pickup, it's designed to bring out the naturally bright and full sound of your Oak Baritone A/E, whether you plug into an acoustic guitar amp or go directly into PA for a mix.
The Lanikai advantage
Need more reasons to invest in the surpassing beauty and sonics of the Lanikai Oak Baritone A/E Ukulele? Here are some reasons players at Sweetwater stand behind the Lanikai brand.
- Hidden scarf joint — This baritone features an extended scarf joint that pairs the neck and headstock to the body at a much lower point on the instrument. The end result is better resonance in the hand a more sophisticated tone overall.
- GraphTech Nubone XB nut/saddle — Rigid, premium Nubone is used in the string-contacting parts of the fingerboard (nut) and body (saddle) to add to the Oak Baritone Ukulele's richness and projection.
- Lightweight open-back tuners — Lanikai's tuning machines maintain their tuning accuracy while keeping the headstock light in the hand.
- 8-hole Quick-Tie bridge — Not only does Lanikai's Quick-Tie bridge dramatically speed up string swaps, but it creates consistent downward pressure on the saddle for greater acoustic projection. Just run strings through one hole, wrap around the bridge, and run to the tuners. Fan of the classic string-tie method? The Quick-Tie bridge supports that too.
- Strap buttons — Pre-installed strap buttons at the tail block and neck rear give this ukulele the edge for strap users.
- D'Addario strings — Enhanced tone, output, and tuning are yours to enjoy each time you tune up your Oak Baritone Ukulele, thanks to its stock D'Addario strings.
