Raindrop 21.25" Scale, Solid Body, Steel String Electric Baritone Ukulele. Mahogany Body & Neck. Made as a one-off with this wood combination and longer scale length. This extended scale gives more finger space and makes for overall dimensions which give a comfortably larger (slightly more guitar-like) electronic instrument.

This HiGuitarsUK Raindrop ukulele is handmade from quality materials and components in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire.

The combination of a mahogany body and neck balanced with 2 HiGuitarsUK hot alnico pickups helps create a great sounding instrument. While an additional coil-tap switch, which taps both pickups for additional sounds, helps to create a broad pallet of tones. The vintage influenced styling, satin finish and quality chromed hardware combine to give a classy vintage yet modern vibe.

This instrument has an all steel adjustable bridge with high mass stainless steel saddles and an electric guitar like bridge string spacing (32mm D to E).

Body: 2 piece sapele mahogany. Satin lacquer finish.

Neck: Sapele mahogany with a multi-coat Danish oil finish. Adjustment free low profile carbon fibre neck rod. Satin lacquered headstock.

Fretboard: Hyedua with high grade 6.5mm abalone shell fretboard dots. Slightly oversize 2.5mm side dots (for better visibility). Fretted with high grade hard American fretwire for longer fret life.

Electrics: In standard mode the pickups work as humbuckers across the 3 switch positions. Engage the coil-tap switch and both pickups enter single coil mode, with a thinner brighter sound across the 3 standard switch positions.

This is one of the last few natural finished baritones Rob is likely be offering at much below the £995 price point.

*Please note: In the close-up photo of the body, the scratchplates protective covering is a little loose in places. So it may falsely give the impression of untidy edges.
