Lanikai CK-6EK Curly Koa Acoustic-Electric Ukulele (6-String)
No longer available at zZounds
Constructed from Hawaiian tonewoods, this 6-string uke doubles your C and A strings for a more robust sound, amplified by advanced Fishman electronics.
Overview
The Lanikai CK6EK Acoustic Electric 6 String Ukulele uses Hawaiian Koa that is especially prized for its curly grain. Lanikai makes use of this exquisite wood by handcrafting the CK series to exacting specifications. Grown mostly on the island of Oahu, the gorgeous red-hued wood used for the Curly Koa series make these ukuleles look as beautiful as they sound.
In its most traditional form the CK6EK is a 6-string ukulele that owes its existence to Portuguese immigrants bringing their craft of music instrument building to Hawaii in the 1870s. The CK6EK comes with classical style tuning machines geared 14/1 for those players that demand greater control over their tuning. This model comes with the standard tuning of GCEA with the C and A strings doubled like a 12 string guitar.

I bought this with the fact it had a pickup and I had other Lanikai products. This did not live up to expectations. The sound was almost dead on two strings because of poor setup from the factory. Just disappointed with this one compared to the other ones I have.
Musical Background:
I jam at home with guitar and flute.
Musical Style:
Rock and Blues
