A New Standard for Tenor Performance
The Flight Phantom EQ-A Solid Acacia Tenor Ukulele offers musicians a professional-grade experience by combining high-quality tonewoods with advanced electronics. While many players look for entry-level gear, this instrument specifically targets those who value the resonance of all-solid construction. Because acacia is a direct relative of Hawaiian Koa, you can expect a similar visual beauty and a warm, punchy sonic profile. This model has quickly become a favorite at the Terry Carter Music Store due to its incredible value and craftsmanship.
Premium Materials and Craftsmanship
Quality is evident in every inch of this instrument, particularly the solid acacia top, back, and sides. Furthermore, the gloss finish protects the wood while making the grain patterns pop beautifully under any lighting. To ensure a comfortable playing experience, Flight paired the gloss body with a satin-finished African mahogany neck. This allows your hand to glide effortlessly during fast chord changes. Additionally, the ebony fretboard and bridge provide a snappy response that complements the natural warmth of the acacia body.

Professional Features and Hardware
The unique open-slotted headstock is not just for looks; it also provides an excellent break angle for the strings over the nut.

With a nut width of nearly 1.5 inches, players have ample room for complex fingerstyle arrangements. Moreover, the 17-inch scale length offers the perfect amount of tension for both beginners and seasoned pros. This combination of hardware ensures the instrument stays in tune during long practice sessions or live gigs.
