2010s Eleuke MP3 Electric Pineapple Concert Ukulele
As I recall, these concert Eleukes were the first mass-market (meaning: inexpensive) solidbody acoustic/electric ukes available for general consumption. I remember when folks were bringing them in the shop like the hot new toy they were. I still like them, myself, because the idea is nice and simple -- they're a rugged, gig-ready, no-need-to-worry instrument for plugging-in. I wish it didn't have to have a 9V battery to run its preamp, but the sound is good and reliable (if a little sproingy due to having undersaddle elements) and the handling is fast.
This one (here on consignment) only needed minor setup and adjustments before it was ready to go. It has a mild amount of wear on the body and a missing silver sticker on one of the knobs, but it's not been abused or mistreated and has its gigbag.
