Journey Instruments J-UKE UC490CE – Concert Ukulele in Spruce and Ebony

Exclusive Materials for Superior Tone The UC490CE is built for the discerning musician seeking a ukulele with great dynamics and clarity. By combining a solid Sitka spruce top with ebony back and sides, a bright, defined, and overtone-rich sound is achieved. The natural beauty of the ebony wood gives each ukulele a unique and luxurious appearance.

Ergonomics and Playability Although this model has a fixed neck, it has inherited Journey's award-winning ergonomics. With the patented Wedge body, the instrument is narrower at the top than at the bottom, making the ukulele rest more stably and comfortably against the body. The deep cutaway ensures unobstructed access to the upper frets on the fingerboard.

Ready for the Stage and Studio The UC490CE is equipped with an integrated piezo pickup system specially adapted to the ukulele's frequency range. This makes it easy to connect to an amplifier or audio interface without losing its natural, acoustic character. Whether you're playing at home in the living room or on a stage, the UC490CE delivers a professional sound experience every time.

Protection on Your Travels Even with a fixed neck, this is still an instrument designed to go everywhere. A high-quality padded travel bag is included, protecting the delicate wooden construction from bumps and temperature changes, while also being light and practical to carry.
