Like the holy grail for uke players on a quest for the new sound, the Flight Rock Series Vanguard electric tenor ukulele has an ultra-modern electric guitar style build loaded with two meaty humbuckers and deluxe detailing. The body shaping mimics the exclusive models that come out of Maryland in the USA, so you're treated to gracefully contoured, deep cutaways and an intricately grained flamed maple top with a tasteful, stained finish. The Flight Vanguard: Adventures in Sound With this electric four-string, we're presented with a solid-bodied adventure in sound, so you can finally bend, shape and mould your signature uke sound by sticking it through the amplifiers and effect pedals that were previously exclusive to guitarists. Even before you plug it in, the mahogany body lays down a warm and woody sonic foundation, and when amplified, the output is thick and satisfying thanks to the mounted pair of dual-coil pickups. Grab the fitted volume and tone pots and the three-way pickup switch to scroll through a tasty range of clear and bright to round and warm tone. Play Anywhere Guitarists making the step over to a ukulele will also feel at home with this electric tenor, from the high-gloss finish of the body to the familiar feel of the neck. The fixed bridge has even been kitted out with four stable and adjustable block saddles that team up with a set of closed oil-bed machine heads and a bone nut to complete solid intonation and tuning. This model also features a zero-fret to guarantee consistent sound whether playing open or fretted strings, and so you can play this uke standing up, it comes equipped with two strap buttons. Pre-wrapped in a gig bag filled with 20mm-thick padding, this Flight offering has definitely been fully prepped for touring life.
