Fanner Jazzmistress Tenor Electric Ukulele w/Whammy Bar System - Sonic Blue

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 tenor 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 powerful sound coming from the hand wound, 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 Jazzmistress is a dual pickup tenor ukulele with a tenor 17'' scale length. This model features Fanner's hand wound single coil pickups, a sonic blue finish with a maple neck and classy wenge fingerboard. The bridge saddles are adjustable, and the nut is hand carved. It's a machine! We love it.

This model also features Fanner's functional whammy bar system. This is achieved with a spring mechanism under the bridge controlled by a whammy bar (a short metal bar you can control with your fingers while you play). Our video demonstration in this listing with Phil shows this in all its glory.

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.

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.
