Noteworthy Ukulele with Onboard Electronics
The UEWT5E Tenor Ukulele is an example of Ibanez's dedication to impeccable craftsmanship and standout performance. This nylon-stringed ukulele has a sapele body and a harmonically complex Tenor shape. Although it's commonly used as a substitute for mahogany, sapele is an excellent tonewood in its own right. It has a warm tone, fast attack, and finishes with a tasteful treble zing. You'll appreciate the smooth playability of the okoume neck and purpleheart fingerboard. And for stage work, the UEWT5E comes with onboard Ibanez electronics for a natural sound. If you haven't given an Ibanez ukulele a try yet, Sweetwater recommends the UEWT5E Tenor Ukulele.
Plug in with confidence!
If you're like Billie Eilish or Vance Joy, you and your uke hit the stage pretty frequently. And with the Ibanez UEWT5E's onboard electronics, you can perform with confidence! The Ibanez under-saddle pickup and preamp reproduce a realistic plugged-in tone that your audience will love. The Ibanez UEWT5E has a built-in tuner to make it easy to tune-up when you're onstage.
Tenor body shape delivers a deep, full tone
Players who want a more profound and warmer tone from their ukulele tend to gravitate to larger body sizes such as the Tenor. Like the Ibanez UEWT5E, tenor ukuleles create a deep and harmonically rich tone that's great for tracking. This uke's cutaway body is super comfortable to play and gives you complete access to the upper frets. If you're looking for a ukulele with a tone unlike any other, choose the Ibanez UEWT5E Tenor Ukulele.
