A soprano ukulele with an American cherry wood body, featuring a bright tone and rich sound
Famous is an established brand with over half a century of history as a Japanese-made ukulele.It uses Famous's plywood (triple-layered) construction, which is extremely thin yet offers strength from its three-layer structure and the characteristics of tonewood. The company manufactures eco-friendly ukuleles through the efficient use of materials and the use of "nikawa" (animal glue).
This instrument is the FS-11G soprano model, made with American cherry wood.
American cherry is characterized by its smooth, bright-colored wood grain, which gradually deepens into an amber color with use, allowing you to enjoy not only the sound but also the aging appearance.
The sound is bright and dry, and despite its soprano size, it boasts a rich volume.
The fingerboard and bridge are made of walnut. The pegs are Famous's original F-1 geared pegs, ensuring smooth tuning.
Famous is the No. 1 brand in the Japan-made ukulele market with 70 years of history since it began production in 1955. They are particular about "ease of playing" by focusing on the optimal balance for beginners, such as the thickness and roundness of the neck, the rounded body, and the string height.
The body of their flagship product has a triple-layered structure that is as thin as solid wood and has the strength characteristic of plywood, and the richness of tone and durability are also reasons for their popularity.
