B-STOCK Flight 4SB All Solid Spruce & Indian Rosewood Tenor Ukulele w/Gigbag (4stringboy signature model) #3

This Sammy Turton (4stringboy) exclusive Flight tenor ukulele was voted the top ukulele of 2023 by the Southern Ukulele Store.

Sammy seemingly appeared from nowhere during the early days of the pandemic with a Flight Fireball and some incredible original ukulele arrangements that amazingly he could also teach! His 'fingerstyle fursday' pieces became must watch exercises for hundreds of players and it was just a matter of time before his enthusiasm, skill and unique presenting style made him one of the faces of Flight Ukuleles.

The 4 String Boy tenor ukulele is a classic fingerstyle player's dream match up of spruce and Indian rosewood... This combination is one of the ultimate wood combinations for a fingerstyle player; if you want to project and produce the cleanest, crispest and aurally pleasing ukulele sounds possible then this is the wood combination you would choose.

In typical Flight fashion and definitely in 4stringboy fashion; this tenor ukulele has some gorgeous contrasting spalted maple cosmetic adornments on the bevelled edge cutaway, front and back binding and a stylish soundhole rosette. This is matched by the headstock which is equally unique and tastefully done. Finally, the top has a rich black stain making it unforgettable on the eyes.

Why does this ukulele have fret dots on both sides? Well, Sammy has popularised the use of harmonics on the ukulele and the offset markers work as a visual aid for where the key harmonics used in the conventional ukulele keys are.

This is one of three B-stock 4SB ukuleles that we received from Flight with bridges that have started to come away and then re glued into position. Although this sounds disastrous, play-wise and structure-wise they are sound and good to go, the only thing you'll need to accept is the cosmetic effect of the bridge having been re-glued. We have tried to show this as accurately as possible in the above images. If you're the type of legend who can accept a cosmetic flaw here and there, then save yourself £150!
