B-Stock Snail SEU-1T Flamed Acacia Electro Tenor Ukulele w/Gigbag

Take a look at this B-stock SEU-1T flamed acacia electro tenor ukulele from Snail.

We are very impressed with their new range of solid body ukuleles. However, this uke has been designated B-stock by us here in store due to some sub par finishing as pictured. Some area of the finish are ropey around the edges but other than that this one is new through our books. Grab yourself a bargain of a solid body tenor if you're not precious about the finish or are a dab had at DIY ukulele re-finishing.

Snail ukuleles have always been a bit of dark horse... The BHC-5 and BHC-6 series were the first of many affordable cedar/spruce ukuleles to hit the market and a few years later they had everyone queuing around the corner to get a glimpse of the S60C and S60T with good reason!

One of the best ways to create an electro ukulele is to take the best of both worlds and you get something like this. A solid mahogany body with either a flamed maple or acacia veneer top. Exactly the same way that the Gibson Les Paul was made back in the 1950s (and continues to be made) but instead of using steel strings and magnetic pickups; this ukulele uses classic uke fluorocarbon strings with an active undersaddle piezo system.

The master controls on the front of the body control the instruments overall volume (so you can turn up when you solo and turn down when you are strumming) and a tone control which sweeps the frequencies from one end to the other and can limit the amount of bass/treble etc.

The neck feels extremely comfortable with its ebony fingerboard and bridge and 35mm nut width. The machineheads are good and compared to the options on the market available over the last 10 years it really feels like Snail have learned from others mistakes. We are really impressed with these, can you tell?
