This is Not a Toy: It's a Professional Electric Ukulele
The Risa E-Ukulele is not an acoustic ukulele with a microphone attached: it is a true solid-body electric instrument, designed from the ground up to perform at the highest level. Built with a solid wood body just like an electric guitar, it has no acoustic sound chamber. Its sound is generated solely by the interaction between the steel strings and a high-quality magnetic pickup. This means zero feedback on stage and the ability to shape your sound with amplifiers, pedals, and all kinds of effects.
Why Choose the Risa E-Ukulele?
- True Electric Guitar Sound: The combination of steel strings and a custom Lipstick pickup (one magnet per string) delivers a clear, bright sound with endless sustain. It's a tone you can never achieve with a traditional ukulele, perfect for rock, blues, jazz, and for experimenting with effects like overdrive, delay, or wah.
- Total Control Over Your Tone: Shape your sound directly from the instrument. Thanks to the integrated Tone and Volume knobs, you have full control over your dynamics and the color of your tone, just like on a professional electric guitar.
- Professional Solid Wood Construction: Made in Germany to the highest quality standards, the Risa E-Ukulele features a solid wood body and a rosewood fretboard for a solid feel and flawless playability across all 20 frets.
- Perfect for Silent Practice: Having no soundbox, it is nearly silent when played unplugged. This makes it the ideal instrument for practicing at any time of day or night without disturbing anyone, whether in an apartment, a hotel, or on tour.
Who Do We Recommend It To?
This is the perfect instrument for:
- The professional or discerning hobbyist looking for the true sound of an electric ukulele, without compromise.
- The guitarist who wants to explore the world of the ukulele without giving up the feel of steel strings and the interaction with amps and pedals.
- The experimental musician who wants to take the ukulele's sound into new and unexplored sonic territories (rock, blues, jazz, funk).
- Anyone looking for a quiet stage instrument for practice, ideal for studying in an apartment or while traveling.
