Flight Pathfinder Tenor Electric Ukulele - Trans Black -

A model at the heart of the Flight Rock Series

The Pathfinder is firmly part of the Flight Rock Series, a family designed for musicians who want to recapture the visual energy and playing feel of electric instruments in the world of the ukulele. Within this range, this Transparent Black version stands out thanks to its dark finishing, solid body and firmly stage- and amplification-oriented philosophy.

Flight classifies it among its Tenor, Solid Body Electric and Rock Series models, making it a particularly interesting crossover instrument for ukulele players curious about the codes of the electric guitar, as well as for guitarists looking to adopt a more compact format without losing the desire to plug in, adjust and shape their sound.

A tenor electric ukulele for musicians who want to play plugged in

This Flight Pathfinder is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced players, but it can also suit a motivated beginner looking for an electric ukulele that differs from traditional acoustic models from the outset. Its tenor format offers a reassuring playing feel, while the 22 frets and double cutaway encourage a more melodic, more lead-oriented approach, even one more inspired by the guitar.

It is particularly well suited to rock, pop, indie, blues, funk and more alternative styles where pick playing, effects, palm muting and pickup selection nuances are put to good use. Its linear gCEA tuning, in a low G configuration, gives it a more continuous range than standard re-entrant tuning, making riffs, single-note lines and more rhythmically tight accompaniment easier to play.

A lively and versatile sonic personality

The Pathfinder's character is first and foremost based on its solid body construction, which focuses less on pure acoustic projection and more on stability, attack and sound shaping through amplification. The basswood provides a well-balanced foundation, with clear mids and an even response, while the neck and roasted maple key contribute to a crisp attack and precise articulation.

The real richness comes from the electronics: the single-coil pickup can produce more open, cutting and detailed sounds, while the humbucker tends towards a denser, rounder and more powerful character. With the 3-way selector, it is easy to move from a snappy register to a thicker color, while combining both pickups further broadens the tonal palette for rhythm parts and lead lines alike.

The inclusion of volume and tone controls makes it possible to fine-tune the sound directly on the instrument, which is particularly useful on stage or during rehearsals. The fixed hardtail bridge, through-body stringing, zero fret and bone nut all contribute to reliable tuning stability, a carefully controlled sense of intonation and more pronounced sustain than is often expected from a traditional ukulele.

Recommended compatible accessories

If you want to keep a perfectly suitable spare set on hand, the safest choice remains a set of Flight FRST-200 strings. The brand explicitly states that they are intended for its solid-body tenor electric ukuleles, with a light-gauge nickel-plated steel construction designed for this type of setup. This is therefore the most consistent option for preserving the Pathfinder's original response.
