A Signature Designed with the Artist
Created in close collaboration with Billy Watman, this Signature model is part of the Ortega "Signature Series." It features luthier choices oriented towards stage use: responsive solid top, premium finishes, and a signature "hat" inlay at the 12th fret for a strong visual identity.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
In Concert size, this ukulele suits intermediate to advanced players seeking a versatile instrument for fingerstyle, dynamic strumming, and accompaniment. Its playing comfort and built-in electronics make it a reliable partner for rehearsals, recording, and live performances, from folk-pop to fingerstyle arrangements.
Sound Characteristics
The solid spruce soundboard offers a quick response, sparkling highs, and strong projection. The Pale Moon Ebony back and sides provide definition and focus the midrange for a clear sound, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge enhance attack and sustain. The 14.96" / 380 mm scale length balances tension and comfort, with precise intonation across 19 frets. Plugged in, the MAGUSX/U preamp delivers a clean, natural signal, ready for effortless mixing.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To protect and optimize your instrument, choose a Concert-sized hard case for travel (a Signature gig bag is already included), an Ortega UWNY-4-CC string set identical to the original setup, a Concert-sized ukulele capo, and a clip-on tuner for quick onstage tuning.
