Fanner Jazzmistress - Natural Teak Tenor Electric Solid Body Ukulele w/Gigbag
The rise of solid body ukuleles has been sudden and extremely exciting... Flight and Risa have established these designs as viable and modern alternatives to the electric guitar and have captured the heart of thousands of players and Fanner are established as well with an audience worldwide that seemingly can't recommend them enough.
These Jazzmistress baritone electric ukuleles are made in Cape Town, South Africa by the Fanner brothers offering a familiar 1950's guitar design but with a more compact and aesthetically trimmed body and a unique sound coming from tiny single coil pickups.
Fanner are very proud that most parts are produced in house for these ukuleles with the exception of the pickups and machine heads.
This 17'' Scale Tenor ukulele was built to order for Southern Ukulele Store - the body is hand shaped, sanded and sprayed in house, the finish on this is a natural and rustic finish over a teak body. This method of everything being done by a single luthier or team of brothers really add to the vibe of the whole thing. Something previously unavailable in the ukulele world. The pickups are hand scatter wound, wax potted and soaked in hot bees wax pickups 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 Jazzmistress is a dual pickup Tenor ukulele. 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. The finish on these ukuleles is about 9/10. Part of what makes these so affordable for a single luthier built instrument is the more rustic elements of the finish. Perfection is lovely but the bespoke singular build of this instrument at such a great price does mean the instrument has a more lived in look and feel.
Specification:
Teak body with natural finish
Twin Single Coil handwound pickups
35mm nut width
Kluson style tuners

This electric baritone ukulele comes with a single skin gigbag but it is very, very tight in the bag. We recommend upgrading the bag to a Kala sonoma coast baritone ukulele gigbag if you intend to travel with the instrument regularly.
