A Tenor Uke with Outstanding Looks, Playability, and Tone!
Top, back, and sides of triple-matched, gloriously figured maple laminate give the Lanikai Quilted Maple Tenor 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 NuBone XB 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 Tenor uke that’ll attract attention hanging on your studio wall or slung over your shoulder. The Fishman Kula pickup system gives this uke stage-ready amplified tones. Adding value are the D’Addario strings and Lanikai padded gig bag.

The industry-standard tenor uke
The tenor, which is currently the most popular ukulele size, is what most solo performers choose for their main instrument. The uke’s bigger construction adds more bass and punch to the tone, which is great for an unaccompanied sound. You’ll find that the Lanikai Quilted Maple Tenor A/E Ukulele gives you impressive volume because of its larger size. And the longer scale length also widens the fret spacing for a more comfortable playing experience, while the instrument’s deep cutaway body design gives you effortless access to the highest frets.
Fishman Kula electronics
Lanikai partnered with pickup legends at Fishman to bring its Quilted Maple Tenor 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 uke, whether you plug into an acoustic guitar amp or go directly into PA.
