Electric Ukulele / The E-Chena Uke (Tenor solid-body Electric)

It now has the transducer pick-up.
The instrument is totally dependent on the transducer pickup, from the instrument to an out board preamp to the Combo Amplifier......
The tenor has a 17.5 inch scale with the traditional flat fingerboard and a large hollow acoustical chamber
So, a few test runs and it sounds very good indeed.......
The next E-Chena I'll plan on an on-board preamp,,,,,,we'll see

Still remaining.....g

Some very kind words from a world-class musician.....

"In my travels I often get the chance to sample the wares of

luthiers all over the world. Every once in awhile a guitar stands out in my memory for its exceptional tone and response.

Greg Pacetti's is one of these. I didn't want to stop playing it, as the rich, even tone and impeccable intonation was inspirational, just what a player wants from a top-quality instrument."

One of our most exceptional guitarist
