Famous FS-200 Hybrid Series – Soprano Ukulele with Solid Hawaiian Koa Top
The "Hybrid Series" retains the easy playability of the Famous while adopting a solid top and plywood back and sides construction. The solid Hawaiian Koa top provides a rich resonance and allows you to enjoy the sound developing the more you play it. This hybrid model combines ease of use with a deep sound.
The head logo features a shell pasted onto the old logo design, adding a touch of luxury to the refinement that is characteristic of Famous. The neck shape and string height are designed to be easy to play, which is unique to Famous, and given the price range, this is a guitar that we can recommend to both beginners and those looking for a second guitar.
The soft, bright tone unique to Hawaiian Koa has a clear contour and matches any genre.

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.
