Product Description
If you’re after a uke that delivers on feel as much as it does on sound, the Alvarez Artist Series AU66CCESHB is a solid choice. It’s lively, articulate and refined — built to give you a wide-open, responsive playing experience with plenty of projection, a rich voice and a nicely balanced tonal character.
Thoughtful build, better resonance
Alvarez have clearly put the work in here. Their dovetail neck joint ensures excellent stability while helping energy transfer smoothly between the neck and body, so the whole instrument resonates exactly as it should. The bracing is a smart evolution of traditional fan bracing too, giving you quick response and great accuracy whether you’re strumming or picking.
You also get a solid slotted Rosewood bridge, which not only enhances projection but makes restringing quick and hassle-free. It’s all part of a very well-considered design.
Ready for stage & studio
Planning to plug in? You’re covered. The built-in Alvarez AUE20 EQ system, complete with onboard tuner, makes it easy to dial in your tone and stay pitch-perfect — whether you’re recording at home or playing live.
Quality touches throughout
Elsewhere, it’s all about the details. Carefully seasoned tonewoods, a genuine bone nut and saddle for better tone and sustain, a smooth-playing Mahogany neck, Rosewood fingerboard and dependable, high-quality tuners all add up to a uke that feels as premium as it looks.
Features
- Concert body shape: Strikes a great balance between comfort and sound, offering a full, punchy voice with plenty of clarity while remaining easy to handle.
- African Mahogany top, back and sides: Offers a warm, rich tonal character with excellent resonance and a nicely balanced response, perfect for both strumming and more detailed fingerstyle playing.
- Techwood fingerboard and bridge: Smooth, durable and stable, providing a comfortable playing feel and consistent performance over time.
- Real bone nut and saddle: Enhances sustain and improves tonal transfer, giving you a clearer, more defined sound across all strings.
- AUE 20 EQ preamp with tuner: Ready for the stage straight out of the box, the onboard AUE20 system lets you plug in and play with confidence.
