Product Description

Since traditions are made to be broken we also developed the Lanikai SMCEK Acoustic Electric Concert Ukulele. The difficulties we experienced when working with spalted mango were more than worth the tone that was created.

The new Spalted Mango Series ukuleles illustrate Lanikai's spirit of experimentation by bringing exiting new developments to the ukulele world. The SMCEK ukulele offers exquisite beauty and a very distinct tone, thanks to the solid spalted mango construction. Spalted mango has a unique tonal characteristic that has the midrange of mahogany but the fullness of spruce.

The difficulties in crafting an instrument with spalted woods are greatly outweighed by the resulting tone and striking appearance. The flame mahogany neck adds to the stability and comfort of this exquisite instrument. Also included on this model is the Fishman Kula preamp that truly captures the unique tone of this instrument. Rounded off with the gold vintage style tuners, this ukulele is a classic in the making.

Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (2 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Extremely playable, great sounding sweet looking uke!"
Overall: After receiving a little soprano for Christmas last year I became intrigued with the ukulele... got a Lanikai SM-CEK today and love it! As a professional musician who has played guitar for over 30 years this is(for me)a great first serious uke. Solid woods, great action and the fishman pickup/preamp make for a great combination that sound great and is usable in a variety of venues. The tone is articulate and warm, super stable tuning and timbre is punchy, warm and crisp. oh... and by the way, it's gorgeous!

"Gorgeous Looking and Sounding Ukulele!"
Overall: I couldn't be more please with my Lanikai Spalted Mango Acoustic/Electric Concert Ukulele. For starters this Ukulele is freaking GORGEOUS. The spalted mango wood has a randomly bold and beautiful black grain on a blonde background that is borderline sexy. The black edges really make the mother of pearl inlay POP! The gloss finish only make it more stunning. The sound is surprisingly full and bright, having that classic cheery Hawaiian ukulele sound, which I love. The electric pickup is sweet, the 3 band equalizer only accentuates that awesome tone coming from this ukulele and stock aquilla strings. Lanikai, you've made an Awesome Ukulele!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
