Lefties rejoice! This beautiful cutaway-style Ibanez ukulele is made just for you, with natural amplified sound thanks to the UK300T preamp on board.

There's only a 1-in-10 chance that this uke is for you, but if you are that 1-in-10, prepare to be ecstatic: Finally a cutaway-style ukulele built for lefties! The Ibanez UEW20LSME is the lefty version of one of the instrument maker's most popular instruments. With its beautiful Spalted Maple body, Abalone rosette, and gold Grover open-gear tuners, this uke looks as sweet as it sounds. The UK300T Pre Amp is designed to render the ukulele's unplugged acoustic voice purely when played through sound reinforcement.

"Looks beautiful and plays like that too"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Until relatively recently, left handed options for the electro-ukulele world were limited to customizing. You couldn't just turn a right hander the other way because either it had a cutaway and that would look weird or if it was an active pickup, the controls would be on the bottom. In any case, the lead would probably plug in underneath your armpit.Then along comes this beauty. It's a well regarded make and it looks gorgeous. I can confidently say after nearly a year of frequent gigging that it plays well, sounds good and is reliable. I'm sorely tempted to buy another one as a spare just in case something happens to this one.
