The Ibanez AUC10E concert acoustic-electric ukulele brings together exceptional materials for an acoustic instrument that sounds fantastic plugged in. Its spruce top produces the pristine tone that has made spruce a popular choice for acoustic guitars and ukuleles, while the Paulownia back and sides provide warmth and resonance. The okoume neck is comfortable to play and the purpleheart fingerboard looks stunning. When it's time to amplify your sound, the Ibanez undersaddle pickup accurately conveys the AUC10E's natural acoustic character. The onboard preamp gives you EQ control and an easy-to-read tuner right on the uke.

Spruce and Paulownia for Traditional Acoustic Tone

The combination of a solid spruce top with Paulownia back and sides allows the AUC10E to produce the balanced, nuanced tone that players expect from an all-acoustic ukulele. The spruce top in particular is prized for its clear, bright voice that emphasizes the uke's natural harmonics. Strumming or fingerpicking the AUC10E, you'll hear the crisp highs and pleasant low end that spruce is known for. The Paulownia back and sides add resonance to the mix, filling out the AUC10E's acoustic voice with substance and body.

Smooth Playability With Okoume Neck and Purpleheart Fingerboard

An okoume neck and purpleheart fingerboard make playing the AUC10E feel as good as it sounds. Okoume has a satiny smoothness that promotes fast, comfortable movement up and down the neck. The purpleheart fingerboard complements the tonewoods with its own musicality—the vibrant hues look fantastic and bring out the richness of the AUC10E's voice. The fretwork is immaculate, with smoothly finished frets for silky bends and vibrato.

Plug In Your Acoustic Tone

Even though it's built for authentic acoustic tone, the AUC10E lets you plug in for amplified performances thanks to its undersaddle pickup and AEQ-2U preamp. The undersaddle pickup accurately conveys the uke's natural acoustic sound, as if you were listening in close proximity. The AEQ-2U preamp provides onboard EQ so you can shape your amplified tone, along with a digital tuner visible on the uke's side for quick onstage tuning. Powered by a 9V battery (sold separately), the preamp makes the AUC10E stage- and studio-ready.

Immerse Yourself in Sound With the Stereo Soundport System

The AUP10N's stereo soundport system produces an immersive, three-dimensional sound unlike any other ukulele. Strategically placed ports on each side project the sound outward and around you. You'll feel enveloped by the rich, resonant tones emanating from this ukulele. The soundport system brings out the best in the premium tonewoods, allowing their tonal qualities to shine.

Play in Comfort With the Elevated Armrest and Beveled Cutaway

An elevated armrest provides a comfortable place to rest your strumming arm, preventing fatigue during long practice sessions and performances. The beveled cutaway allows easy access to the upper frets, enabling you to play intricate solos with ease. Together, these ergonomic features let you play the AUP10N with greater comfort and versatility. Ibanez's edgeless comfort heel features a smooth, rounded transition from neck to body, allowing you to comfortably access the upper frets in any playing position.

Gig Bag Included

The AUC10E concert ukulele comes with a lightweight gig bag designed specifically for this model, making transportation easy. An adjustable backpack-style strap helps you securely carry the case. The padding protects the instrument from bumps and scratches. Just grab the bag's handle and go.
