The Flight Victoria EQ - A Concert Ukulele truly lives up to its royal - sounding name. Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and resonant laminate acacia back and sides, it produces a lively, rich tone that'll make you feel like royalty. Advanced players will love the armrest and the unique round cutaway, which allows easy access to the extended fretboard, offering a super - comfortable and enjoyable playing experience. This ukulele is equipped with an ebony fretboard and Japanese fluorocarbon strings, and its stunning slotted headstock adds a touch of glamour. It also comes with a pickup, so you're always ready to shine on stage. The combination of spruce and acacia is a match made in heaven. Spruce is bright, while acacia is rich and warm, mellowing out the spruce's brightness for a round, full tone. The African mahogany neck provides stability, a warm tone, and a smooth feel when playing. The ebony fingerboard, a high - class material, is associated with premium instruments. It has a real bone nut and a compensated saddle, which not only look great but also improve playability by setting the intonation of each string correctly. The modern scalloped cutaway lets you reach high frets without affecting the tone too much. The ebony armrest gives your playing arm a smooth resting surface. In mid - 2020, Flight switched to using Double C1U active pickups, with controls under the sound hole. Ukuleles with this new pickup have an “A” in their model number.

Using your Flight Victoria EQ - A Concert Ukulele is a breeze. Just hold it in your lap or against your body, rest your arm on the ebony armrest for comfort, and start strumming or picking those Japanese fluorocarbon strings. The cutaway design allows you to easily reach the higher frets, so you can play all sorts of cool melodies. When it's time to perform on stage, the built - in pickup will let you connect to an amplifier. Before using it, make sure the pickup is properly connected and the controls are set to your liking. For maintenance, keep your ukulele in a dry and cool place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the wood. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove any dirt or sweat. If you need to change the strings, use the same type of Japanese fluorocarbon strings for the best sound. And don't forget to store it in the included deluxe 15mm padded gig bag when you're not using it to protect it from bumps and scratches.
