VGS Tenor Ukulele Electro-Acoustic Manoa Roadie E-A Tenor Silver Shadow

A Roadie Ukulele Designed to Play Anywhere

The Manoa Roadie E-A Tenor stands out with its flat body, a practical approach for an instrument that is easy to carry and comfortable to hold close, whether at home or on the go. Its refined presentation (cream binding, glossy finish, gold tuners) gives it an elegant look while remaining focused on being a "playing instrument" thanks to a simple and effective design.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

This tenor ukulele is suitable for both beginners seeking a reliable and rewarding instrument, and intermediate players who want an electro-acoustic model for rehearsing, recording demos, or playing amplified. The tenor format is well-suited for pop, folk, chanson, reggae, and fingerstyle arrangements, with comfortable playability across the entire neck.

Sound Characteristics

Sapelli (body and neck) provides a generally warm tonal color, with present mids and a consistent attack, ideal for maintaining clarity in chords. The American walnut fingerboard and bridge contribute to a crisper response and good note definition. The Nubone nut and bridge inlays promote stable vibration transmission with well-controlled sustain. When amplified, the VGS UK-S1 preamp allows quick adjustment of output level and brightening or softening of the tone via the tone control.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The included padded Deluxe gig bag is ideal for daily protection of the instrument. For powering the preamp, plan on having 2 CR2032 batteries on hand to always have a backup solution before rehearsals or concerts.
