The options available with modern craftsmanship tools mean ukuleles can take many forms, including this archtop body. The result is a diverse sound that adds a unique layer to your music, perfect for studio and live use.

The Shadow EQ JW1 is an active pickup system for ukuleles, containing an onboard preamp with volume and tone controls in a radius shaped case. It comes with an active Nanoflex pickup and a high quality endpin connection. Only Nanoflex pickups sense the vibrations of the strings and the movements of the soundboard simultaneously. By doing so, the sound is sweet and percussive with an exact attack. This gives the feeling of having a microphone mixed with an undersaddle pickup.
