This is an all solid acacia tenor electro ukulele from Cordoba, the 35T-CE. With top drawer LR Baggs active pickup and a cutaway, together with a wide 38mm nut width, it is a great gigging ukulele with excellent performance both acoustically and amplified.

Although perfectly able to take a high G, this Cordoba is fitted with a wound low G, which adds plenty of depth to the tone. While these can be a bit dominant with their long, ringing sustain, the all solid acacia body gives a sweetness at the treble end that blends in nicely, for a warm, rich but well balanced tone.

There's a lot of talk about wide nuts, with this one having a 38mm. Every player is different, but to be honest, from a personal perspective, I prefer 36mm... UNLESS coupled with a fairly thin neck profile - as in the case here. I like the space offered by the string spacing, but the flat neck profile makes this an advantage - without having to reach too far. Not sure that all makes sense - so if not, let's just say, I like it!

This Cordoba has lovely acacia, with rich streaks of chocolate brown, complemented by ebony binding and a classy looking abalone soundhole rosette. The saddle and nut are made from black TUSQ, with their signature headstock above the latter making the uke stand out a little more.

There's an LR Baggs Five 0 system fitted, an active pickup and preamp with a sound quality only matched by the Mi-Si system. This has the advantage of tone and volume controls tucked inside the soundhole (although I confess to being a Mi-Si man myself - seeing as I usually plug into a mixing desk and set my sound from that - rather than onboard controls). Whatever, it is great!

This 35T-CE is equipped with Aquila strings, which do a good job in fact, adding some brightness against that low G, while the tenor ukulele is supplied in a semi-rigid pod case.
