Solid body electric oud

Dr. Oud - 12-24-2008 at 04:04 AM

This is a solid mahogonay body with a string length and spacing of a Turkish oud (23 1/2 inch, 597mm). It uses a L.R. Baggs ribbon transducer under a bone saddle and a preamp with a 3 stage Eq, brightness, presence and volume controls. It has power and sustain like a fine electric guitar, and the one can be shaped with electronic effects to any sound. $1100 including a hard shell case.

The rear door to the battery holder. - bolt on neck with a tension rod too. The machine tuners work really well.
