Climbing to new heights, the Switchback offers unrivalled beauty and a mountainous tone. Crafted with a solid Koa top, this ukulele offers a new perspective on the most iconic ukulele tonewood. Chosen for its enviable brightness and attack, Koa has the ability to become increasingly rich and resonant over time, revealing a soaring midrange and unparalleled tonal quality. With its highly figured aesthetic, the Switchback’s interlocked golden luster collides with a wooden rosette and a steep, swooping cutaway. Both visually impressive and acoustically stunning, the Switchback uniquely combines a classic tonewood with innovative design, creating a truly exceptional experience.

This is a very nice solid top ukulele with an attractive wood grain pattern. The intonation is perfect. The tone is on the soft and mellow side rather than plunky or punchy like some ukuleles. After lowering the string action (height) to my preference and changing to my prefered strings (Oasis Low G) I am very pleased with this ukulele. I look forward to the sound profile opening up a bit over the coming months. The more I play it, the better it is sounding.
