Ibanez AUC14-OVL, Open Pore Violin Sunburst Overview
The AU series features a very unique construction method, departing from the conventional build of ukuleles. Instead of being constructed with separate top, sides, and back, the body of the AU begins as a solid block of wood, routed out to form a single piece for the back and sides. A top is then added to complete the body, resulting in instruments with a distinctive sound and brilliant playability. The AUC14 incorporates special features such as a Stereo Sound Port, Elevated Comfort Armrest, and Edgeless Comfort Heel.

Special Features:

Chambered Body (Acoustic): The body starts as a solid block of wood and is routed out, so that the back and sides are a single piece. A top is then added to complete the body. This construction method gives this instrument a unique sound.
