Ortega Horizon Series RUMG-CE Concert Pickup Ukulele, Mango, with Bag

Description

The scenic route type

What if “traditional” isn’t really your style?

You don’t have to flip something classic on its head to modernize it. Take a ukulele for example. It’s an instrument with instantly recognizable sound—crisp highs, warm mid-range tone, and a pleasant, mellow volume.

Of course, most people naturally think of the beach or a sunny meadow when they hear one.

And while you may envision live concerts instead, you’re probably not going to completely shred on a ukulele, although we’re SURE those videos exist somewhere.

But traditional ukuleles can use a little bit of that edge in their look to cultivate a specific style, so we entertained some ideas.

How would a reverse headstock with inline tuners work on a ukulele?

Could the position dots be used differently to add a subtle jolt of personality? A few tweaks and wow … things were looking sharp.
