Flight TUS55 ABS Soprano Travel Ukulele, Acacia Overview
Flight Travel Ukuleles have proven to be one of the best and most robust ukuleles that you can purchase, and Flight continues to expand the number of choices that are available in the series. The Flight TUS55 Acacia Soprano Ukulele features a laminate acacia top which will respond to any playing style and add a traditional “look” while doing so. Acacia is in the same family as koa, featuring bright tones, lots of punch, and plenty of sustain. The Acacia Soprano Travel Ukulele looks simple and clean, and you will love the sound it produces.
Attractive acacia
We generally offer our travel series ukuleles with cool colours or stunning graphic designs–but the Flight TUS55 Acacia Soprano Travel Ukulele offers a nod to classical ukulele design through the use of laminate acacia. Acacia is in the same family as Koa and is a popular tonewood. It features a bright tone, lots of punch, and great sustain.
ABS neck & fingerboard
The neck and fingerboard of this ukulele are made from ABS plastic. This is a perfect solution for entry-class ukuleles since it is not prone to any weather changes. You will never experience a sharp fret or bent neck on our Travel ukuleles. The neck features a wooden texture, which helps the instrument to feel unlike a plastic ukulele as you play it.
Zero fret & ABS saddle
Our travel ukuleles use a zero fret and adjustable saddle, which keeps the string action low and intonation on point. Since a plastic will not react to weather conditions like a wood ukulele, you will never have to deal with any future saddle adjustments.
Good-looking and easy to tune
Headstock design is an integral part of our identity. The headstock veneer is made of laminate acacia and matches the soundboard of the ukulele. All Flight ukuleles feature a carefully-designed headstock fitted with geared tuners that will always hold their tuning (once tuned).
Always ready to go
Every Flight ukulele includes a gig bag. While the Travel Series does not need a lot of protection, a gig bag protects the strings and makes the ukulele easier to carry. We chose a blue denim colour to add some style and also to make the bag stand out from the standard black gig bag that everyone else seems to favour. If you find that you would like a gig bag with more features, check out the other gig bags that we sell as accessories!
