I am getting a constant problem with my Eleuke SuHP.

When I strum it, it generates buzzing sound to the headphone and amp and it is so noisy that the original playing cannot be heard properly.

For comparison I pluged
1. my Eleuke CCJ100-SuHP
2. my Epiphone Les Paul Ukulele
into my amp and recorded from it

Also I've recorded the spectrograms to help visualizing the problem.

Above shown the spectrogram of my LesPaul uke playing a C chord.
As you can see the horizontal lines are separated quite clearly implying that the notes can be clearly listened.

Above shown the spectrogram of my low-G Eleuke playing a C chord.
As you can see the horizontal lines are clear when the note are played one by one. But when I strum, the lines looks blurred and the gaps are filled with noise.

My questions are:
1. How do you guys call this problem?
2. What can I do?
3. If there are nothing I can do, which solid body ukulele at a similar price range would you suggest that do not have such problem?

Thank a lot. This has annoyed me for almost a year
