Ibanez Cocobolo EW Concert Acoustic-Electric Ukulele Review By Scott Grove

In a selection of tonewoods with the Ibanez UK300T preamp system.
The EW Concert Acoustic-Electric Ukulele from Ibanez is a sweet-toned, nylon-stringed instrument in a choice of luxurious tonewoods and built to stand the test of time.

Built on the concert-style platform and size, the EW comes in 3 tonewood flavors:
Cocobolo top, back, and sides - cocobolo is a true rosewood and produces tones with excellent power and sustain.
Koa top, back, and sides - koa is beautifully grained wood and produces a very bright sound with perhaps less volume than spruce.
Spruce top, mahogany back and sides - spruce is the most common wood in guitar tops and, combined with mahogany, produces a bright, punchy tone.

The EW ukulele has a rosewood bridge and fretboard that help improve sustain. The chrome Grover open-gear tuners offer precision tuning and keep the ukulele in key.

Dressed in a natural low-gloss finish, and featuring a desirable abalone rosette around the soundhole, the concert uke's natural beauty shimmers through, making it a 4-string of sweet looks and tone, no matter which one you choose.

Ibanez UK300T Preamp
The EW Concert Acoustic-Electric Ukulele is equipped with the UK-300T ukulele preamp, featuring a 2-band EQ for adjusting bass and treble. The preamp also includes a built-in onboard tuner to ensure stable performance every time you hit the stage.

The ukulele originated in 19th-century Hawaii. It gained great popularity in the U.S. during the early 20th century, and from there spread internationally. Ibanez ukuleles bring the rich, textured sounds of the islands to your fingertips.
