Flight Sophia Concert Electro Ukulele - Soundwave PU

The Flight Sophia Concert Electro-Acoustic Ukulele is a sophisticated highlight of the Flight Ukuleles Princess Series, blending traditional tonal excellence with futuristic technology. This model features a solid spruce top paired with laminate walnut back and sides, a combination that delivers a remarkably punchy, bright, and articulate sound with a rich, earthy low end. The "Sophia" is designed for the player who wants the premium feel of a boutique instrument complete with a stunning slotted headstock and gold geared tuners while possessing the versatility to perform in any environment.

The Soundwave Experience: Effects without an amp

The defining feature of this model is the revolutionary Soundwave Pickup System. This cutting-edge technology allows you to play with Reverb, Chorus, and Delay directly from the instrument’s body, even when you aren't plugged into an amplifier. An internal actuator vibrates the back of the ukulele to create these acoustic effects naturally, transforming a small practice space or a beach jam into a lush, cavernous soundscape. When you do decide to take the stage, the system functions as a high-quality active preamp, sending those same professional effects through your PA system or amplifier.

Boutique craftsmanship and playability

As part of the professional range of Flight Ukuleles, the Sophia is built for comfort and precision. It features a bone nut and saddle for superior vibration transfer and a 38 mm wide nut, which provides extra string spacing for intricate fingerstyle playing. The elegant ebony fingerboard and bridge add a touch of luxury and durability, while the maple binding provides a high-contrast, refined finish. The high-gloss coating not only protects the solid spruce top but also enhances its natural resonance, ensuring the instrument projects with clarity and confidence.
