The Alvarez Artist Tenor Ukulele is designed to deliver an open sound with projection, volume and tone. Equipped with an AUE-20 pickup/EQ for sonic versatility and constructed with a dovetail neck joint for enhanced strength, this tenor uke features a modified fan style bracing that optimizes response. The response is also aided by a solid “slotted” techwood bridge, which enhances projection and helps to make string changes easier and quicker. Additional features include quality-seasoned tonewoods, real bone nut and saddles, mahogany neck, techwood fingerboard and premium tuners.
