Lanikai is proud to introduce their new Exotic Ukuleles. Constructed with solid Zebrawood or solid Monkey Pod these ukuleles produce a fresh tone unique to each woods distinct resonance capabilities. Unadorned by synthetic enhancements, this series captures the pure essence and beauty of the natural world. The Exotic series features a solid top back and sides, slotted headstock, Grover gold plated tuning machines, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, maple and rosewood skunk stripe and an ovangkol neck. A custom wide bone nut was used to increase the string spacing, making these ukuleles more comfortable for guitarists who are expanding their sonic palette with the ukulele. All cutaway models feature the new Fishman Sonicore ukulele preamp and Sonitone pickup. With volume and tone controls mounted in the sound hole these ukuleles are truly performance driven instruments.
