Harley Benton is no stranger to the ukulele game. Its range of paradise-inducing mini-strummers already includes a DIY Concert Ukulele Kit and pair of Hawaiian artwork-adorned models, to name a few, and it's expanded further with the all-new UK-12 Stain Ash.
With a body crafted from stained ash wood – as its name suggests – this new soprano-sized addition boasts a basswood neck with a 17-fret roseacer fingerboard, a single black body binding and an ABS nut and saddle.
