With the discussion of the Enya TransAcoustic ($180) still in my head, I looked around for other inexpensive electric ukes. I found this Aklot acoustic/electric concert for $70. How could I go wrong?
It arrived from Amazon in just two days, and I have no complaints. Construction is flawless, and it sounds just like a ukulele. Plugging it into my Fender Frontman 10 makes it sound even better. I'll be bringing the Fender and this Aklot to our uke session on Saturday, and I'll let the group try it out.
It has a solid mahogany top. The pickup is not integral with the strap button, but is slightly below it, and there is a little door next to the socket where the two CR2032 batteries for the built-in tuner go. This is my first uke with a built-in tuner, and it works very well.
Unlike some other inexpensive electric ukes I saw reviewed, the internal wires do not rattle when the uke is shaken. It seems they are thick, inflexible wires, so they don't move at all.
Like some other ukes, this arrived with picks, batteries, a strap, extra strings, a polishing cloth, some kind of gift card, a chord chart, and an instruction book for beginners.
