Construction & Tonal Character
Built with mahogany body, nato neck, and walnut fingerboard and bridge, the V2-C sun prioritizes stability and sustain in the studio. The 18 frets and 375mm scale length provide ample range for melodic tracking and harmonic layering, while the arched back contributes to both structural rigidity and improved resonance that sits clearly in a mix. Nubone nut and saddle ensure reliable intonation and tonal clarity across the frequency range, critical for multi-tracked ukulele sessions.
Hardware & Strings
The instrument ships with Aquila Nylgut strings, which deliver warm, well-defined tones with excellent durability and consistency across takes. Open guitarstyle machine heads in chrome with black buttons provide smooth, precise tuning stability and a classic aesthetic that complements the ukulele's traditional profile.
