The Ibanez UEW12E-BIF Black Ice Flat at a glance

With the UEW12E-BIF Black Ice Flat, Ibanez presents a concert ukulele that is ready for the stage. Due to its medium-sized design, the concert ukulele is the ideal blend of the larger body of the tenor ukulele and the characteristically high sound of the soprano ukulele. In addition, the Black Ice Flat finish gives it an extremely attractive design and the pickup system a great stage presence.

Sound and construction

Both body and top are made of flamed maple, which gives the instrument a clear sound with incisive highs and lows. Bridge and fretboard made of Purpleheart complement and a rich midrange, while the open-pored finish ensures a fast sound development.

Playability

The okoum neck with 35 mm nut width fits well in the hand and allows a comfortable grip. A convenient cutaway provides access to the higher registers.

Electronics

For amplified playing, the UEW12E-BIF features the in-house AEQ-2U preamp. In addition to volume control, it also allows bass and treble to be adjusted to suit individual preferences or ambient conditions. Meanwhile, an integrated tuner guarantees a sound-assured performance.
