Flea Ukulele

Introduced in 2002, the Flea is another departure from the classic ukulele form.Created by Dale Webb, the Flea features the same hybrid design as the Fluke:a unique composite construction of wood and injection molded thermoplastic.

The combination of wood soundboard and acoustically resonant thermoplastic body gives this instrument an edge over the traditional standard ukes. It has a rich and bright sound, is comfortable to hold and stand up on its end as well. Known for its easy play-ability with a full 14" soprano scale and generous string spacing - a favorite for seasoned players or a perfect first uke. Its durable construction and meticulous setup is ideal for class or travel, weighing in at about one pound. Available in Soprano or Concert size.

Solid maple or walnut neck; laminate top of either hoop pine or walnut. Injection molded thermoplastic body, and polycarbonate or hardwood fretboard. All sizes can be ordered in a different colors as well as with pickup options. Fleas come standard with D'Addario Nyltech strings.

Over 33,000 made, proudly in the USA

Cannot go wrong

My daughter needed a ukulele for music class at school, so I ordered a soprano Flea for her and, while I was at it, a concert Fluke for me - natural finish, no fancy options. Both are superb instruments. Intonation, action, fit and finish... everything is perfect. The smaller body of the Flea suits my daughter well, but I enjoy the bigger, more resonant tone of the Fluke - the difference is definitely noticeable. I have put some Worth strings on the Fluke (clear, hard, low-g) and they sound absolutely fantastic. The only bad thing I have to say about the Fluke is that now my Firefly isn't getting all the attention it used to. 8^)

Possibly the perfect Flea

This is my 3rd Magic Fluke instrument and as time goes by I am convinced of one important thing: everyone should own a Flea! I love the new Clip-Lock bridge design and the concert scale is just what I was looking for. I added an upgrade to the Peghed tuners and the result is just what the doctor ordered! (Provided that the doctor ordered a great sounding, great playing, quality built ukulele...)

Flea

Great ukulele, but should really charge $10 more and put the better tuners in anyway rather than the cheapest tuning pegs. I changed mine to geared tuners with a 12 to 1 tuning ratio for the sensitivity and Iâ€™m not really a purist in wanting to keeping the friction heads and want to play the Uke rather than tune for 5 minutes with a slight twist changing the note up or down a semi tone, drove me crazy. I am happy with plastic fretboard and intonation is great and the sound is really nice with a good volume output. The music shops here didnâ€™t really offer the options available with original tuning pegs already fitted on the imported product.
