Muse Solid Spruce / Acacia Tenor Ukulele w/EQ (MU-SAG-TE/B) -Blemished

*NOTE:

These sets may contain slight cosmetic blemishes. As these blemishes are only on the surface, it will not affect the sound, the integrity of the construction, nor the playability of the instrument in any way, eg. very small dinks, uneven gloss spots on the finishing; some blemishes may be barely noticeable.

As these are heavily discounted items, it will not be covered under warranty. 

The SAG series has a wood combination of solid Spruce top and laminate Acacia back and sides. Spruce is well known for its loud and bright tone as well as projection. Coupled with Acacia back and sides which brings together a well-balanced sound. Another one of our best sellers!

DESIGN
Utilising a classical guitar headstock design, the slotted headstock is usually reserved for higher-end ukuleles due to the extra manufacturing steps required to produce it. Designed for weight reduction, it is a design feature that many players like for its classic looks.

This headstock design allows the tuning direction to be the same for all the knobs which takes the confusion out for beginners. The machine heads are smaller and lighter than traditional machine heads to keep the weight down.

The width of the neck is standard (36mm), and the neck radius has been designed to be flatter to improve playing and comfort. A flatter neck radius makes it more comfortable for the thumb placement.

PLAYABILITY
One of the most important aspect in the playability of any ukulele is the action. The action relates to the distance between the fretboard or fingerboard and the string. A lower action means the string is closer to the fretboard and hence easier to press. The string will not need to stretch too much, which in turn improves the intonation. It is also less painful for the fingers–great news for beginners and pros alike! The set up on each Muse ukulele is set to the optimal height providing ease of play without sacrificing loss in volume. All Muse ukuleles come set up with premium Aquila New Nylgut strings.

COMFORT
Designed with comfort in mind, all Muse ukuleles are built without a single sharp edge on the body. All joining edges have been rounded to ensure that when a player cradles the ukulele to his/her body, the ukulele does not dig into the flesh of the arm thus allowing for extended periods of play.

BUILT QUALITY
Muse Ukuleles come with choice of solid Cedar top or a solid Spruce top. Both these tone woods are tried and tested to be one of the best tone woods for stringed instruments like ukulele, guitar, violin, and even piano. Both Cedar and Spruce have excellent intonation, projection, and clarity. Both are loud and punchy (great for strumming), at the same time provides clarity when picking notes (fingerpicking/fingerstyle).

VALUE FOR MONEY
Muse Ukuleles are priced to sell. With its simple design (no embellishments or fancy inlays), we aim to keep our costs manageable while offering good quality wood and parts.
