Kmise MI0969 Concert Ukulele

The main standout feature of the Kmise Concert ukulele is its laser engraved vine and leaf graphic, which gives it a premium look that goes beyond it's price tag.

But at its core, it doesn't stray much from familiar Concert style designs with its laminate sapele top, back and sides.

It has a C-shape neck that is crafted from okoume and features an 18-fret fingerboard.

Other features include real bone saddles for the nut and bridge, equipped with Aquila strings and it comes pre-equipped with strap locks.
