Fanner Pixelator Thinline Tenor Solid Electric Ukulele w/Gigbag (Shell Pink/Pinup)

Fanner are established globally with an audience that seemingly can't recommend them enough. These Pixelator thinline tenor ukuleles are made in Cape Town, South Africa by the Fanner brothers. They offer a familiar design but with a more compact and aesthetically trimmed body and a unique sound coming from tiny P90 pickups. The thinline element of the body allows for the uke to be extra resonant and almost more acoustic in how the sound translates when plugged into an amplifier

Fanner are very proud that most parts are produced in house for these ukuleles with the exception of the pickups and machine heads.

Our Pixelator bodies are built to order for Southern Ukulele Store - the body is hand shaped, sanded and sprayed in house. This method of everything being done by a single luthier or team of brothers really add to the vibe of the whole thing and is something previously unavailable in the ukulele world.

The pickup is a hand scatter wound, wax potted and soaked in hot bees wax p90 with alnico 5 magnets. For many, this is considered the natural upgrade from ukes like the Flight pathfinder and even the more premium priced point Risa solid body ukuleles.

This Pixelator is a tenor ukulele with a conventional 17'' scale length, 34mm nut and reclaimed sugar pine body. The finish is a pastel pink colour with a decal of a classic 'pin up girl'. The bridge saddles are adjustable, the nut is hand carved and the neck is maple. It's a machine! We love it.

Listing shows actual instrument you will receive. Cosmetically, these are around an 9/10 - they are built in a very old fashioned way with a lot of hand shaping and traditional painting/finishing. As mentioned in our videos on Fanner; part of what keeps them affordable is the lack of modern techniques and automation. Cosmetic perfection is lovely but part of what makes these so charming is the more rustic lived in feel.
