Plug In. Turn Heads. Play Loud. Why Electric Ukuleles Rock
Your ukulele deserves to be heard—loud and clear.
If you’re performing, recording, or just need more volume, a plug-in ukulele is a must. Our Electric/Acoustic-Electric Ukuleles Collection features built-in pickups and electronics from top makers like Kala, KoAloha, and Romero Creations—so you can amplify your sound with confidence.
These aren’t gimmicky add-ons. They’re professional-grade systems designed to preserve the tone and clarity of your playing—on stage, in studio, or at open mic.
🎛️ What Is an Acoustic-Electric Ukulele?
It’s exactly what it sounds like: a great acoustic uke with a pickup system built in. That means you can play it unplugged at home, or plug it in for live performance or recording.
There are two basic styles:
-
Passive pickups: No battery needed. Just plug and go.
-
Active pickups with EQ: Powered by a small battery and give you control over tone, volume, and midrange.
Some even include built-in tuners, notch filters (to prevent feedback), and DI-style outputs for pro soundboards.
🎸 Who Should Consider an Electric Ukulele?
You, if you:
-
Gig, busk, or play at church
-
Record at home
-
Want to experiment with effects pedals
-
Just don’t want to fight with a mic every time you play
Even if you’re a beginner—if you might play out someday, it’s smart to buy an electric-ready uke now.
