Regent Series bring you your perfect first ukulele, with a warm, open sound and beautiful look. Our approach to the design of our ukuleles is the same as our guitars. We want you to fully enjoy the playing experience, feel the difference, hear the resonance. Alvarez ukuleles have been carefully designed to deliver an open sounding and responsive instrument with good projection, volume and fine tone. All Alvarez ukes are constructed with a dovetail neck joint for optimal strength and transfer of energy between the neck and body. The bracing design is a modification on traditional fan style braces to optimize response. The response is also aided by a solid “slotted” rosewood bridge, which enhances projection and helps to make string changes easier and quicker. The RU22TCE is fitted with a AUE 20 EQ and tuner. Our Regent ukes use the same quality components as our Artist and Masterworks series, including quality-seasoned tonewoods, real bone nut and saddles, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and premium tuners.
